Xbox One pre-orders 'trending ahead of Xbox 360', says Hryb

4.5
Xbox One demand apparently higher than Xbox 360 at launch

Xbox One pre-orders are "trending higher" than that of Xbox 360 during its respective pre-launch period, according to Microsoft's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb.

Posting via Twitter today, Hryb said, "Just found out XboxOne preorders are trending ahead of Xbox 360 preorders during the same time period + sold out at most U.S. retailers."

Hryb didn't release any specific figures, nor did the firm make any mention of Xbox One's pre-order performance in today's fiscal Q4 and year-end finical report.

This does, however, support the prior claim of Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, who said Christmas pre-order numbers for Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One are twice what they were for the launch of PS3 and Xbox 360.

UK retailers reported strong Xbox One pre-orders following the announcement of Microsoft's console in May, with Blockbuster saying Xbox One pre-orders broke records for the firm.

Meanwhile online retail giant Amazon reported in June that Xbox One and PS4 pre-orders were 'neck and neck', and that Xbox One pre-orders were 20 per cent higher than they were for Xbox 360 ahead of its release in 2005.

Microsoft today reported significant growth for its Entertainment and Devices Division which encompasses its Xbox business, and claimed Xbox Live growth of nearly 20 per cent.

-Live It's just because of more gamers. If you were to compare retrospectively they are basically around the same amount of pre-orders they had with the box 360 albeit a little lower but nonetheless.


I agree there were less gamers then so just convert the amount and The 360 will have a little more.

If both companies can keep the pace they're at now steady, they'll out-do themselves everytime.

Vancouver_Canucks It was quite obvious to me that it would happen. More users than when Xbox 360 was being released.


Yeah, way more users. I knew it would, but not by this much so fast. But everyone wants a next-gen console whether it is xbox one or PS4. :D


Well i still havnt decided i was going with the PS4 then xbox changed the used game policy so the only thing thats bad about xbox is the price
Yea the price is stupid and it's not just the price, it's knowing that that extra $100 is going towards a paperweight.


It's idiots like you that annoy me...
Do you even realize how many more software features the Xbox One has over the Playstation, oh wait, that's a stupid question, because if you had known, you wouldn't have posted this idiotic post. It also comes with the Kinect 2 sensor, which if you didn't watch E3, is state of the art technology and will be absolutely amazing.

All you did was listen to people that complain about the price, so now you think it is over priced as well.

If everyone would just pay attention then the Xbox One would have 1,000,000 more pre-orders then the crappy Gaystation.

And no i am not an Xbox fanboy, i actually game on PC, but between these two consoles, the Xbox definitely is better.


It's idiots like you that annoy me you say you're not a Microsoft fanboy yet you call the PS4 the gaystation?

Half off your topics are about xbox so you know that's all lies.

Who the hell wants to pay an extra $100/GBP what ever your currency is all it will do is collect dust for most people.

You say you're a PC gamer once again most of your topic are about xbox and playing Runescape LOL doesn't make you a PC gamer.

Last thing PS4>X1.


Runescape isn't the only game i play dipshit, i needed help on something with it.

Also, I am NOT an xbox fanboy, but it is indeed, alot better then the playstation.

By the way, i will be getting an Xbox One, and i will be playing on both. SMD have fun getting hacked.
