Apples to oranges
Unfortunately, as humans, we like to compare things side by side, and at times make competitions about it. I’m just as guilty here. In this case, our passions for next-generation consoles has brought us to this point. A point of no return… Pre-order numbers.
As I was listening to Rev3Games’ Adam Sessler discuss his opinion of the PlayStation’s launch, he mentioned he spoke with GameStop’s higher up. He mentioned there “may not be available console’s to the casual customer,” just strolling into the store looking to pick up any next-gen hardware. You might be waiting clear ’til March of 2014.
If this is true, that’s great news for the industry as we see possibly one of the biggest launches for both Microsoft and Sony. Peter Moore of EA gave this answer to Inquisitor.com when asked about the pre-orders for both companies:
Round 2 results: Draw
So what this tells me, is even though we may want to compare apples to oranges, the one thing they have in common is they play video games, and video games are the reason we care about these consoles.
So let’s try to focus on that aspect, not which console is selling better or which has better games, as they seem very similar. Let’s simply rejoice that our hobby, our passion, is having one of its best lauch periods in history. Now go forth and play!
