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.

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

bravo.
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. :)

The Disagree should say "Fanboy"
=D
But then reality kicks in, and it would just lead to a super form of trolling.
my only hope is my bubbling you up as funny, actually makes you gain a bible
Haha jokes aside I am really happy that playstation is taking us back to the wonder days.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And no don't say something like that wont happen: we are talking about - CONSUMERS!
Greatness awaits

Really, all I'm hearing is something like getting achievement points for turning the thing on.
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.
Said no one ever. Glad I reserved my launch Ps4 on time :)
" 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
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.
What's the difference between the launch and standard edition??
The machines are identical.
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.
People who pre ordered the launch edtion may not get it at launch :(. This blows!
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.
If Amazon's ratio is currently 18:1, PS4, then we cam safely assume the global ratio at launch will be around 15:1.
This Gen is not going to be competitive at all. At least not at first.
overall i think there is still too much confusion even with that page on xbox's website trying to explain it. for example, family sharing is still unclear. from the sounds of it, family sharing could be awesome but it doesnt explain exactly how somebody is considered "family" or the restrictions on that.
wait and see...
agree. the price will hurt it with the average consumer
@minato
certain features wont work in certain territories at launch but thats not an unsual thing. its happened before.
and trading/renting games isnt a big deal to some. i never trade games in and ive rented like 2 games in 2 years. neither of those bother me, neither does the drm or online requirement. the price is the only thing that even mildly plays a factor in it but even so, i think its going to be a great gaming system and its exclusive line up really appeals to me more so than sony by a wide margin. you can still share games easily with friends, just link them to your gamertag as a family member and if* you feel the need to trade a game in, you still can its just not going to be as easy as it is on ps4.
lastly, if the system releases and its pros begin to outweigh the cons then people will spread positive word on it. however until its released and people begin to be 100% clear on how everything works then the only press its going to get is the raging internet, who cant seem to see past "drm" and take a minute to think about how they use their console, how those restrictions will effect them personally, etc. as an example, my 360 has been offline a total of 4 days prob since i got it in '05 therefore check ins i wont even notice and worst case scenario, i use my phone to do it. i dont buy used unless the game is unavailable but ms is claiming all games will be sold digitally too so that wont be a factor anymore, and i rarely trade games with friends as were all adults now and buy our own games whenever. that said, i will add a close friend or two to my "family" giving them access to my games.
Their launch though, is going to set the tone for the first year and a half.
PS3 had a problem riddled launch, but it was selling. Xbox One may sell out their launches and then remain stagnant. The policies are that bad. Ita more expensive too.
Anything can indeed happen as the Gen will no doubt be 7 years minimum, but we can all agree that Xbox One is nothing short of a catastrophe right now.
Early supporters are just that. Regardless.
The Kinect 2 will spy on you, they just are trying to tell you...you can turn this or that off...but it still has to be plugged in. Why? Because they are still going to comply with the FISA courts...which aren't constitutional. The gov't wants everyone's data, and is capturing it all so they can use something very similar to google to search it.
They admitted to it, by saying they comply with all court orders (meaning yes it's possible and will occur)...they just didn't tell you if that court follows the constitution or if that court was outside the bounds of the constitution, which is what the FISA court is.
They'll half the price and drop the DRM.
They are!... this is the Sony I remember, a PS2 era Sony and no amount of disagrees will change that fact!

On Wednesday night I dug out an old PS2 controller and sat with it in my hands until I convinced myself I could live without the 360 pad.
im hoping ps4 is out in november or sooner for that matter
Microsoft announced a November release date.
Sony announced a Nov/Dec Holiday season release date.
They will probably release the same day.
Sony will reveal the date at gamescom in August.

please be november i carnt wait wooo
Everyone buy an extra controller with your PS4!!! XD
Its already on back order everywhere & thats great.. I bet all of the M$ fans are really pissed off & went into hiding.. PS4 is actually cheaper than even the wii u if u think about it.. The wii u deluxe is $350 w 32GB.. PS4 is $400 w 500GB.. Wii U will need more storage if u plan to buy digital software making it more expensive than PS4.. PS4 storage can be upgraded just like PS3 & also like PS3 its region free.. EPIC WIN for sony..
Remember when the Xbox 360 was less than the PS3 and it was desperation? Funny how when Sony announces their price point after Microsoft and are cheaper it's a good strategy. Epic win for Sony indeed.
I'm not defending Microsoft, I'm simply amazed at how ignorant many can be and how so many embrace misinformation without doing minimal research to support their claims.
Sony ditched their custom hardware and went to x86 architecture, just like Microsoft.
Sony did away with free online and created a subscription based online service to enhance the gaming experience, just like Microsoft.
Sony went to broadband only with the PS3 after defending gamers rights to play with a shitty connection, just like Microsoft.
Sony started to include a HDD as standard, just like Microsoft.
Without Microsoft, it looks likeSony wouldbe pretty lost. The PS4 is exactly like the Xbox in almost everyway. It's a PC based gaming console with a subscription based online service. If the only thing seperating the two is software, why is Sony even making hardware anymore?
Microsoft is launching at a price disadvantage by including a Kinect with every console. This is the only way to insure support. Kinect has the potential to take gaming forward. DRM will reduce piracy and soften the hit developers and publishers takeon used game sales. The extra revenue has the potential to take gaming forward. Sony is doing nothing to make gaming better this gen. They built a low cost PC. Why are we cheering them on for doing nothing?
I've been gaming since the early 70's. I would like to see gaming take the next big step. I've also taken the 30 seconds to read the user agreement that comes with every game. I know what my "rights" are in regards to software. The proposed DRM Microsoft has is no different than any digital format used today including that of PSN. The hardcopies we are buying for the XboxOne are a compromise between the all digital future and disc based games of the past.
The gamers that are upset today are fighting progress in technology, advances in gaming, and time. It's sad that the ignorance that short sightedness provides is so easily embraced. The Vita and PS+ are a great combination. It's a device that is built for digital downloads which are not tradable and can't be resold. This is the future. The games available on memory cards are the compromise Sony made so gamers wouldn't revolt over progress.
-They both release the same time, this time.
-Tons of 360 users jumping ship
-PS faithfuls will buy ps4
-Never has there been this much attention/controversy surrounding a launch.
-wait for unveil
-wait for E3
-wait for launch
Anyway, I got my PS4 Launch Edition confirmation from Amazon.
Yee-Haw!
HASHTAG PS4
Ha ha ha!
I wonder if it isn't the perfect time to buy Sony shares...
