Amazon.com's TOP SELLING game related product for the past 8 straight days now has been the Xbox One over PS4.
Xbox One pre-orders are selling like hot cakes, my local Gamestop is sold out of pre-orders due to overwhelming demand.
Minnesota Mall of America's Microsoft store was sold out of Xbox One pre-orders due to popular demand.
Anyone who says Microsoft did what they did for the sake of "sales" is a complete liar. That or they're just ill-informed. I'm glad Microsoft changed their policies, but at the same time I'm fine with their other policies supporting publishers. Either way, it just took away anything Xbox haters had to complain about.
Do you have a source for this claim? Googling "Amazon top sellers" shows The Last of Us for PS3 at #1, the PS4 at #2...and the Xbone at #5.
