Xbox One, PlayStation 4 Shatter Amazon Pre-Order Records

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 contributed to Amazon's biggest pre-order week ever, with as many as 2,500 next-gen console purchases per minute funneling through the online retailer. The week of E3, which saw PlayStation 4's hardware and Xbox One's software unveiled, saw a 4,000% increase in console purchases compared to last year's (next-gen-free) E3 week.

In addition, the day-one pre-orders for PS4 and Xbox One were "nearly two times that of all video game sales on Black Friday last year."

IGN has asked Amazon for more specifics and will update this story with any extra information it provides. If you're interested, Xbox One pre-orders are back in stock on Amazon, and PlayStation 4 pre-order bundles come in a bunch of different flavors.

Interesting, sounds like this DRM free stuff is good for developers, at least they have more systems their games can be played on.
