Retail giant Amazon UK has revealed that pre-orders for PlayStation 4 are a mere 2.3 per cent behind those for Xbox One.
Speaking in a press release today (via VG247), the company noted that both machines are drumming up a lot of excitement among gamers, and that Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation rigs are set 'have a huge impact.'
It also noted that pre-orders for Xbox One are 20 per cent higher than its predecessor's efforts in the months leading up to its November 2005 launch.
“It’s not clear yet which of the two will have the edge when they launch later this year – what’s certain, though, is that fans are already excited about how the next generation of consoles will change the world of gaming and home entertainment,” said Amazon EU’s Xavier Garabois.
Amazon UK’s head of videogames, Ketu Patel, added: “Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are set to have a huge impact, not just in terms of cutting edge games but also as part of the way in which families enjoy home entertainment.
“It will be fascinating to see how the battle between the two console giants develops over the coming months – the fight for who’s going to be the must-have Christmas present is only just beginning.”
PS4 and Xbox One are due to launch this holiday season. Both machines will be out in full force at E3 this week, with Sony and Microsoft's press conferences due to kick off later today.
