PS4′s pre-orders outstrip those of PS2 and PS3
It was revealed at Sony’s Gamescom events last night that the current PS4 pre-order total has surpassed one million units. It’s expected to sell out at launch.
“We’re not disclosing the exact number [of PS4 units] that we’ll have on day one,” Gara said. “Clearly we’re working hard to satisfy a lot of countries. We mentioned 32 countries last night.
“The one comment I’ll make about the pre-order number is first of all, it’s greater than a million, and secondly, the UK represents a very healthy slug of that. We’re undeniably seeing a sea change.”
He added the high level demand is a problem in terms of availability, but that it’s a positive problem for Sony to have at this point.
The PlayStation 4 launches in North America on November 15 and in Europe November 29.

I am not really surprised, the more time goes on, the more the gaming community increases. And as time passes, the easier it is for people to afford the consoles.

BrosCokesTed- That's because the PS3 was $1000 at launch....
It was pricey but not ridiculous.
That was pretty ridiculous, seems as they have bought a way better console out at half the starting price
The PS3 was a major leap in console gaming at the time though, i do agree that $1000 is way too high never the less. $600 would of been reasonable
