PS4 more popular among consumers than Xbox One, according to Reuters

4.3
PlayStation 4 will be this holiday season’s format of choice, according to a poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos.

Yahoo News reports that the poll was conducted last week – between Sept 23-27 and some 1,297 people were surveyed. 26 per cent of those consulted said they would buy a PS4 at or after launch, while 15 per cent preferred the Xbox One.

The gap is said to widen when sampling the 408 people polled under the age of 40, with 41 per cent favouring PS4, and 27 per cent looking to buy an Xbox One.

Off the bat, I’m wondering why most of the people polled were over the age of 40, seeing as the target demographic is currently hitting heights of 35, but that’s by-the-by.

Of the 1,297 respondent people polled, only 3 per cent said they played games on Wii U. 20 percent on Xbox 360, 18 per cent on PS3 and 20 per cent on home computers.

PS4 releases November 15 and 29 in the US and EU respectively, while Xbox One drops November 22 in both regions.

What do you make of the stats above?

Falsified I'm still on a dilemma on which console to choose. I think I'm going with PlayStation Four anyway.


I will probably end up getting both, but I'll probably get the PS4 first.

I can see why, the PS4 looks amazing.

You can but you'll miss out just like ps3 players missed out on everything that has to do with MP. 300k servers + smart matchmaking +multitasking = win

Only because its launching in more places and cheaper.
Within a couple of months Xbox will be number one since people will see they're playing ps3.5

That is because for an entire two week period after the Xbox one was announced, so many rumors got started that wasn't able to be controlled.

I'm just excited for the consoles to come out so I can determine which is best on my own.

PawnStars I've seen a couple more polls today and they are all heavily favoring the ps4


That is because the amount of hate that the Xbone got when it was released. People were complaining about everything.

DinosoarPosted:

To be honest everyone is saying PS3 will be better but if Xbox one is what it really is what it looks like at e3 I think it's going to be amazing.

NeuroPosted:

Only for now, once everyone sees the new entertainment features it will get more sales
