GameStop predicts biggest console launch ever
Speaking during the company's quarterly earnings call, CEO Paul Raines said launch allocations for the upcoming consoles were "unprecedented".
Raines didn't reveal any pre-order data for the systems, GameSpot reports, but he did say that 1.5 million consumers have signed up to the PS4 "first to know" information service, compared to 700,000 sign-ups for the Xbox One equivalent.
On Tuesday, when Sony announced a PS4 release date of November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe, the company said that over one million PS4 pre-orders had been placed worldwide.
The platform holder is anticipating a PS4 sell-out at launch, with PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara claiming the company's struggling to satisfy pre-orders.
PS4 will be available in 32 countries this holiday and Sony has confirmed a PS4 price of £349/€399/$399.
Xbox One will launch in 13 markets this November, down from the originally planned 21. The Xbox One price has been set at £430/€500/$500.

Considering how much gaming has grown since the current gen launch, the launch of the next gen should blow every other launch out of the water
