I have never pre-ordered a console, and I rarely ever preorder games. There is rare instances that I will preorder or kickstart a game. Mostly if it is related to the niche that I enjoy, dinosaurs.
I have kick started multiple indie dinosaur games, and one of them failed pretty badly. It is unfortunate, it had a lot of potential to have an amazing paleo-accurate design, but one of their former staff members ran off with a bunch of their money, so the game is had a significant slowdown in their development cycle and it seems to take years for an update.
