Anyone know how that compares to previous hardware?

I wonder if they'll be able to fulfill those preorders.
If the ratio from our insiders are true (4:1 in NA, 4:1 in UK, 8:1 in Continental EU), then the mathematical maximum we could get for XB1 would be 250K preorders at this point.

They're going to have a ton of units it seems.

wonder how that compares to Xbone.
1 million doesn't sound a lot really but it must be if they mention it.

It really does. I recall many games having well over 1m preorders and this is next gen hardware ffs.

1 million worldwide doesn't seem like the run away hit Gaf makes it out to be. X1 must be doing even worse.

That's honestly pretty low, especially considering I'm accounting for two of them (one in canada and one in europe since I have no idea where i'll be living in a couple of months).

This is impressive but to be honest I was thinking it'd be closer to 2 million by now the way the Internet (we) have been fawning over it.
Now I'd like to know where Microsoft is at for preorders.

That one is about games, not consoles.

And we still have 2-3 months to go till launch for PS4.
It's the first time Sony's ever published preorder numbers for a console pre-launch, so I think that speaks volumes.
Their biggest hardware launch to date was PS2, which shifted around 1m units over the first weekend IIRC (?)
Plus there's still 3+ months to launch...

1 million already 3 months away from launch? Sounds like a lot to me.

I hope Amazon can get my console there on release day.

I think ps2's combined sales for the first 2 weeks of each launch (jap/na/eu had diff releases) were in the vicinity of 1.5 million sold units. PS3 had less than a million but they had unit shortages. Looks like ps4 could reach the 2-3 million mark by Decembers end.
500k at Gamestop alone (hardware).

That breaks down to around 32,000 per country. I'm sure scalpers have multiple order too.

I'd guess its higher based soley on how preorder focused everything is now compared to then.
Dude, it has the highest pre-order number of any games console EVER!

1 million doesn't sound like much to me but what is interesting is how they are able to launch in 32 countries compared to XB1 in 13.

Still three months until launch as well. PS4 is going to have a huge launch!
Did you read this?
Yeah, but Sony says to the retailers that any pre-order right now won't guarantee a launch console.

Yeah, that doesn't sound impressive at all.
Out of curiosity...
Has this beat the Wii U already in terms of pre-orders?
I thought it would beat Wii U in terms of pre orders, just wondering if we know it already has or not...
I'm hoping this will teach Nintendo a lesson though.
I dont think the Wii U has anywhere near this hype in the months leading to launch.
I think they're getting out of touch with gamers.

I know they said that in the UK but have they issued a similar statement to the US?
1 million consoles sold at launch is huge. Hopefully Sony reopens preorders soon. Right now that number won't go up since preorders are closed.
It is pretty impressive.... most games don't even get 1 million preorders and those are only $60. Most people (even me) expected a very sluggish transition to the PS4 and Xbox One. Just to put it in perspective 1 million preorders is 399 million dollars. (roughly, Europe pays more etc etc)

Did you? (Sometimes I forget that a lot of people don't read beyond the title of an article)
That article is about game pre-orders really. And in the article it says only 500,000 WiiUs have been pre-ordered.
Reading is fun!

That is pretty high when you consider you have to Ultra HD consoles coming out at the same time. There is only so much money to go around.

GAF not impressed. Lol
1 Mil preorders is insane. Especially since most retailers sold out their launch supply back in June. Shit is going to be in huge demand. I think they have huge potential to break records.

I'm not pre-ordering, as my local store doesn't know when I can pick it up (if I'd pre-ordered last week, I was guaranteed one before December 31... Now it's "unknown").
I really wonder how much PS4s they can manufacture by November...

It also says that 500,000 consoles were preordered at Gamestop.
Reading is fun indeed!

It was 500k in GameStop alone.
Heed your own advice.

So if the rumored 3 to 1 preorder ratio is true then Microsoft is somewhere along 300,000 preorders or more.
