PS4 most-Googled tech gadget of 2013 in US

4.7
The PlayStation 4 was Google's most-searched-for item this year in the Tech Gadgets category in the US. The data is according to the Google's Zeitgeist, which rounds up and compiles the year's most popular searches. The Xbox One, meanwhile, didn't break the top 10 for the US. Worldwide, the PS4 comes in at number three in the Consumer Electronics category, while the Xbox One is right behind in the number four slot.

Combine this information with the fact that both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sold 1 million units in 24 hours. Add in the NPD's report that the PS4 is the "top-selling" console while the Xbox One is the "fastest-selling." The result is one undeniable, unquestionable truth:

People searched for, and bought, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. *Jazz hands!*

Hoop Not really suprised,i can see people getting the PS4 just because of the price,and seems a better console in my opnion!


In my opinion, the Xbox One seems better. Much more options and what you can do is amazing. Yes it's more money but it's worth it.


ps4 may have had more sales but i think xbox will still do better in the long run ps4 already had there servers breached

Im-Faded I bet if they included Xbox 720/Xbox one it would be the most googled


They included the top 10, they said it didn't manage to break the top 10.


I remember when everyone thought it would be called the 720. Good times.

Mafia6k Not surprised they sold more consoles too so ...

Actually, if you click on the Zeitgeist link above it shows that PS4 is #3 and Xbox One is #4 for consumer electronics. Not that much of a difference. This article makes it sound like the PS4 is uber popular and no one's ever heard of the Xbox One, LOL!
