Xbox One scores high number of preorders

From CNET News.com: The Xbox One is apparently a hit even before it officially launches.

Preorders for the Xbox One have surpassed those for the Xbox 360 during its prelaunch months, Microsoft announced Thursday. The upcoming console has sold out in preorder status at most of its major retailers in the U.S., the company added.

Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 continues to heat up sales.

For the 30th month in a row, the Xbox 360 was the top-selling home console in the United States last month with consumers snagging more than 140,000 units. Total spending on the Xbox 360 including hardware, software, and accessories hit $197 million in June, research firm NPD said Thursday, the highest number for any console in the U.S.
