We’re just a month away from the launches of both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and while plenty of people are just excited to see this new, powerful technology sitting pretty under a TV, the real story will be the quality of the games seen at launch. Both companies are bringing unique, exclusive content to their respective hardware, but according to pre-order numbers compiled by VGChartz, PS4-exclusive Killzone: Shadow Fall has three times as many pre-orders as both Dead Rising 3 and Ryse: Son of Rome.
It’s the shooters that are dominating these particular charts, and as you can see from the numbers below, Shadow Fall has just crossed the 250,000 mark. The Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts has the biggest numbers, but from there, it’s the PS4 that’s winning the pre-order war.
