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!*

I am not surprised the PS4 has outsold Xbox One. I currently own one, and it is amazing! Especially with PS Plus. They give you free games and everything, its awesome. But, I do plan on getting an Xbox One in the future!

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.


if you don't own both you cannot say which one is better and i have both turned on right now and they do exactly the same things the snap feature is very tedious and you won't really use it that much but for party chat.

And the ui is cluttered its more money for less on xbox one you get 362 gbs of storage on PS4 you get 409 and the PS4 ui is much faster the best thing i can say about the xbox one is the messaging system and the notification icons are much better.

the download speeds from disk to hard drive are slow on the xbox it takes longer, don't believe me? youtube it. I bought the xbox one expecting it to beat the PS4 but thats not the case.

You're really confident because 360 was so successful like i was and the only features it really has over the PS4 is TV and thats it. they both do the same exact thing except one is faster than the other don't recommend something if you don't know what you're talking about.

And just so you know when i went to buy the PS4 friday and turns out I'm liking it better, Buy it and try it I'm sure you will like it more but right now don't get caught up in being loyal to a company who is over charging for their product and has a camera bundle that 60% of people don't want.
