Xbox One game pre-orders lagging those for the PS4
Either more people are pre-ordering the PS4, more games are better on the PS4, or a few select Xbox One games are simply stellar, because at the moment pre-orders for Playstation 4 games are ahead of those for the Xbox One.
VGChartz has released its game pre-order numbers for both next-generation platforms for the week ended August 24 2013 and the numbers for PS4 games are clearly higher than those for Xbox One games.
While the logical conclusion to draw from this is that there is also more PS4 consoles being pre-ordered, it could also mean that PS4 gamers simply have more money to spend (they do save $100 on the purchase price of the console afterall) or that there are only a few key Xbox One games that gamers are really interested in.
What do you think is the reason for the not-insignificant difference in the numbers, and what games have you in fact pre-ordered for your chosen system?
