Xbox One and PS4 pre-orders 'neck and neck' at Amazon
In a press release distributed shortly before Microsoft and Sony hold their E3 press conferences, the UK arm of the online retailer said Xbox One is currently edging out PS4 with 2.3 per cent higher sales.
Amazon also said Xbox One pre-orders are 20 per cent higher than they were for Xbox 360 ahead of its release in 2005.
Xavier Garambois, vice president of retail at Amazon EU, commented: "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."
Ketu Patel, head of video games at Amazon.co.uk, said: "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."
While launch dates and pricing details for the new consoles have yet to be revealed, both systems are expected to release later this year.
After last month's Xbox One reveal event was largely used to show off the hardware and its wider entertainment capabilities, Xbox executives have said tonight's E3 conference (5:30pm BST) will be "all about the games".
Sony has teased plans to show off the PS4 hardware for the first time at its E3 conference, which takes place on Tuesday at 2am BST.

lel I think that PS4 surpassed xbone, didn't it?
I would think that too. I thought the majority of people were fans of Sony in the console wars.
imgur That being said, I'm still going with the Xbox One, just because of PSN being down more than it should and I already have and Xbox profile.
That's a good point, but there are a lot of downfalls about the xbone that kind of ruin it for me :/

BDBRaheemSterling_31 Also at least one isn't winning the other by a huge difference because the fanboys won't shut up about it
True, I think they will end up equally in sales. Their both great consoles that look great!
I agree, that being said I think they'll be like the PS3 And 360. You're just going to go where your friends are going.

Shrill I think that the Xbox One will outsell the PS4.
You can't know that already, we'll see.
