PS4 Vs. Xbox One: Amazon Splits PlayStation 4 Preorder Page

Amazon adds to Microsoft’s list of problems: The Sony PS4 preorder page is firmly in first place on the online retail giant’s list of best-selling video games. The Xbox One falls to second place, but the PlayStation 4 also pops up in third place on the list. Amazon now claims they may not be able to promise PS4 delivery on the launch date due to overwhelming demand.

Go PS4, Go Go Go !

[komp]

I think by now we should make a few changes on n4g.

The agree button should be the ps4 logo and the disagree should be the xbox one.

[bonafide732]

lol

[legionsoup]

Genuinely the funniest thing I've ever read on this site! lol

[Dee_91]

To be honest im surprised XBox One is even in the top 5.Guess alot of people dont care lol

[abzdine]

Greatness awaits
4>1

Dmarc:

Who knows, maybe the PS4 is at for example, 500 000 preorders, and the X one only at 100 000 then the Ps4 (non day one delivery) would be at 80 000. There could be a great distance between both positions.

Amazon was forced to split the PS4 preorder product listing into two due to high demand. Amazon also listed the following “Product Alert” on the PS4 preorder page: “The standard version of the PlayStation 4 is identical to the Launch Edition. Due to high demand, we cannot guarantee Release-Date Delivery on the standard version of the PlayStation 4. We will deliver the standard version of PlayStation 4 as close to its release date as possible.”

WOW Sony does a great job at E3.

OT that was funny. :)

+bubble

[KwietStorm]

I'm all for calming the fanboy waters around here, but that was funny as hell.

[THE-COMMANDER]

LOL nice one!

[Kevin ButIer]

If the dualshock 4 outplace the One... pfff

[Gameatholon]

I think there names should show up when they disagree with you, that way you can ask them why and have a healthy discussion and or a debate. :)

But then reality kicks in, and it would just lead to a super form of trolling.

[Tapani]

Well said, sir!

[Bathyj]

wow. 310 agrees.

my only hope is my bubbling you up as funny, actually makes you gain a bible

[WalterWJR]

Don't thank me, thank Sony because without them none of this would be possible.

Haha jokes aside I am really happy that playstation is taking us back to the wonder days.

[kraigslist_killa]

Damn...perfect. lol

[ajax17]

I hope Sony reacts to this and increases production for more launch PS4's.

[3-4-5]

Why do people act like Microsoft didn't show anything good...like they didn't show some really cool games?

I get it, it's not only cool to hate on Microsoft..it's not really cool...

Sony won...hands down..not even close, and Microsoft needs to stop being so out of touch and arrogant, but they didn't completely fail.

You are all starting to sound like fanboys now and it's just annoying.

I've always been an xbox/Nintendo gamer, but this may be the first year I get PS4....they've just done too much correct for me to even think of ignoring it.

* XB1 controller is awesome, because 360 is arguably the best and most comfortable ever made.

* I hated Dual shock, but they seem to have fixed the analog and triggers so maybe I'll like it.

People need to be more open minded and balanced with their opinions, otherwise it comes across as just copying what everyone else is doing.

And BTW that comment about the agree = PS4 was funny.

[Hicken]

You must not be paying attention.

Plenty of people from both sides- Sony AND MS- and the middle have said the XBOne had some nice stuff shown off. Me, personally, I thought TitanFall looked super badass.

But that doesn't suddenly erase the negatives. Yet Microsoft and many sites out there- and many fanboys here and elsewhere- would have us ignore the always online or forced Kinect as if they didn't matter.

They do.

And they matter more than a few games.

It would be like the US launching a nuke at China, but hitting New York instead, and then people saying, "Well, a few people probably survived, and they didn't kill anybody anywhere else in the country, so it wasn't ALL bad."

No shit. It wasn't ALL bad. But that little bit of good news doesn't make the bad better.

[MuleKick]

Microsoft's system does have some very cool features and games. That's true. But they did alot wrong in my opinion. They were never getting my money but I think they may have some issues getting other peoples money with the mess they pooped out.

[mediate-this]

Hey I like sony as much as everyone, but sony has not won anything yet. I know sony is trying hard to appease the gamers, but what will you say after all that hard work? after all this micro hate, that micro and sony are even in sales, or micro on top?

Micro is a business and they will try things that seem greedy, but its the people who are voting with their wallets, people can talk about how micro screws the gamers but if micro sells a bunch of systems all that hate is for naught.

Your counting your chickens before they hatch.

With that being said, I pre-ordered both, a few games I want on xbone but sony has the franchises I like.

[MikeMyers]

"It would be like the US launching a nuke at China, but hitting New York instead, and then people saying, "Well, a few people probably survived, and they didn't kill anybody anywhere else in the country, so it wasn't ALL bad.""

Wow, now videogames are serious business folks. You heard it right here, the Xbox One is just like world war 3. Which is actually ironic seeing as for many years on N4G it has been a war of both sides because some people have taken this very serious well before the Xbox One came out.

[ThanatosDMC]

That's your opinion about the 360 controller. The dualshock design didnt win all those awards for no reason.

The only good game that's exclusive to Xbone was Dead Rising 3. I hope it's more survival than killing zombies while riding on a tiny bicycle.

I hope Titanfall didnt get your attention because that was not a mech but a giant human model. It's UT3's giant mod basically. I'd be happier if it was actually a mech and not that giant model trash. They should have gone with Hawken type mechs but they're too lazy for that i guess.

[spartanlemur]

The tragic thing is that Ryse is never going to be enjoyed by most gamers due to its presence on a platform which seems set to tank.

[rainslacker]

MS showed some great games. I won't ever say they didn't. And if this weren't a console release E3, particularly between two big competitors, then MS would have "won" hands down...although subjectively I can see the argument that most of what they showed wasn't exclusive.

However, this was a console release E3, and they failed miserably in garnering the gamers attention towards it because of the restrictions and policies they have in place for the console reported two weeks prior.

Leading up to E3, the number one subject has been these policies, hell it's what's mostly being talked about now despite all the great games shown by all of the Big 3. But MS didn't mention them once during their presentation. Sony spent less than 10 minutes mentioning their policy and won...because it was the only thing on everyone's mind.

Since MS didn't address the concerns at the conference, the games didn't matter. For the first time in my life the games didn't matter for a console, and to me that is more telling of the direction MS wants to go than anything they had at the show or reveal.

[Psn800]

Console war is over it's oveeeeeer .

[Zoomer76]

I'm happy for you mate, you must have a few shares in Sony to get so excited about pre-orders

[batbatz]

Die XBone DIE DIE DIE

[Prcko]

Like Hotcakes,as i said

[Minato-Namikaze]

More like Girl Scout cookies. Why even try to fight momentum? lol

[Anon1974]

Certainly it's nice to see consumers responding well to the PS4, but I wish these articles would include actual numbers. As is, these "Oooh! Amazon or Blockbuster Preorder!" articles are quite meaningless without actual context.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

so trueee. and in that same respect, can we get some ps3 vs 360 numbers as well? neither company seemed to mention it at e3.

[Perjoss]

except it wont burn your fingers!

[chikane]

Nice Ps4

[Godmars290]

XBO may actually sell because the PS4 is out of stock.

And no don't say something like that wont happen: we are talking about - CONSUMERS!

[Minato-Namikaze]

But they can just order the standard edition. Only the launch edition is out of stock.

[abzdine]

People aren't buying it for a reason. No way you or me will buy one just cause no PS4 available.

Greatness awaits
4>1

[Godmars290]

What the in the launch edition? What does it have?

Really, all I'm hearing is something like getting achievement points for turning the thing on.

[MonkeyNinja]

Amazon said themselves that “The standard version of the PlayStation 4 is identical to the Launch Edition."

The only difference is that the "launch edition" will be received on launch day of PS4, while the standard edition may be delayed due to high demand.

[AznGaara]

Ps4 is out of stock? Sure let me spend $100 more on an xBone.

Said no one ever. Glad I reserved my launch Ps4 on time :)

[Hercules189]

Oh look, the ps3 was $200 more and had no games at launch, but thats ok bcus it had blue ray, even tho noone knew what it was at the time.

[Drekken]

Hercules189 - You can't compare the two. The PS3 was actually a good console from day 1. Anyone with a brain knew what Bluray was.

[Patrick]

@ Hercules189
" but thats ok bcus it had blue ray, even tho noone knew what it was at the time."

If by no one you mean my grandmother, then yes no one knew what Blu-ray was. But... if you mean anyone that actually knew what a PS3 was, then no your wrong and are just trying to hard.

Greatness Awaits and U R NOT (red)E

[H3ADWOUND81]

No way, ps4 is worth the wait.. That's like saying all the blu-ray players are sold out so people are gonna revert to buying VHS boxes.. Makes no sense..

[rainslacker]

I think he's referring to the mainstream consumer. On black Friday when people go to buy little Jimmy a new game machine, if the PS4 is out of stock, they could pick up the X1. However, $500 is hard pill to swallow, so they may look more towards the Wii U as an alternative.

It's really hard to say now. Most parents nowadays grew up around video games in some way, so may be more prone to realizing there is a difference between systems.

Time will tell.

[Majin-vegeta]

Could this be the fastest selling console ever?:0

What's the difference between the launch and standard edition??

[SpinalRemains]

The day on which you receive it.

The machines are identical.

[Goldenarmz]

In theory, the Launce edition may be delivered on Dec 31st where as the Standard may be delivered on Jan 1st or 2nd. Its just them saying you wont get it on launch day but the systems are the same.

[jmc8888]

Dec 31st is a placeholder date.

It should release sooner than that, and it would not surprise me to see it release before the xbox one. Even IF, and I do think it is an IF, Xbox One releases on time.

[GamersRulz]

If MS lose the US, then its over.

[wishingW3L]

US was their only stronghold. lol

[SpinalRemains]

Guess it wasn't so strong.

[NeXXXuS]

yep

[Omar91]

How is this good news?
People who pre ordered the launch edtion may not get it at launch :(. This blows!

[GamersRulz]

it means that there is HUGE demand for the system. simple.

[wishingW3L]

launch editions are launch edition and those were over after like 4 hours after the conference. Did you pre-order the launch edition last Monday or are you confusing the launch edition with the standard one?

[GamersRulz]

no there was only PS4 page at first " no launch, no standard" but Amazon had to split it into two pages because of the huge demand on the system. if you received an email from amazon telling you than you ordered the launch edition, that means a guaranteed launch day delivery.

[SpinalRemains]

No.

Ppl who ordered the launch edition are guaranteed to get it at launch. Hence the change to the name.

Standard editions are not guaranteed to be delivered on launch.

[Omar91]

Well yea besides the fact that there is a huge demand for the system (which is great) I thought I read that even for those who purchased the launch edition may not be guaranteed a console at launch. Thats what made me upset.

[Snookies12]

Nope, no worries. If you got the launch edition, you're set for a launch system.

[GraveLord]

They will get it at launch just not release day. It really depends on how lucky you are. Also like the people below said, it means there is high demand for the PS4 seeing as how it is not only #1 on the list but also #3. There are 2 PS4 consoles in the top 20 and only 1 Xbox One console.

[ceejaa]

as far as launch edition. I got a confirmation letter from amazon letting me know I have launch edition. I ordered mine within 10 mins of being online. I think if you ordered in the first 24 hours your good to go

[rainslacker]

I think they split them up after about 16 hours. It says I ordered the launch edition if I click on the lauch tab, but haven't gotten an email from Amazon to confirm it. Dunno if they're sending it out in waves or not. Might have to email them to confirm, because I ordered mine within seconds of it being available. I have one preordered through gamestop as well. Backup plan and all.:)

[TheFallenAngel]

Leave me a ps4 to pre order people! I get paid today so I'm pre ordering later on today

[GraveLord]

Actually when you pre-order from Amazon, they don't charge your bank account/credit card until the item ships. So you can pre-order now.....

[TheFallenAngel]

I didn't know that! I thought you had to put like a deposit but hell I'm pre ordering now

[rainslacker]

I think you can still preorder at best buy as well. You can select ship to store for launch day pickup. I do believe they charge your card immediately though.

[Snarkasaur]

Amazon numbers are weird...like, why is Maw, a game that's years old, on the top five sellers? That's crackers.

[SexyGamerDude]

Maybe people still play the game.
