Xbox players ‘better’ than PS4 and PC, reports LG

3.8
New research from LG has proven that Xbox players are ‘better’ than gamers on the PS4 and PC, following results from a reaction test of nearly 1,500 players. Dividing player groups based on which platforms they used, LG found that PC players had the worst reactions overall, with Xbox better in accuracy, reaction speeds and targets hit throughout the testing.

LG’s Elite Reaction Test, created in partnership with Activision, demonstrated that PC gamers had the lowest average reaction score of only 62.2 in their tests. In comparison, PS4 players had an average score of 71.9, while Xbox players came out on top with an average reaction score of 79.7. This reaction score suggests that Xbox players have the best reactions, or “twitchiness”, overall.

These results were based on tests in which users “were required to click on targets that faded from green to red as quickly as possible to help increase their score”. The reaction score was then calculated based on each player’s accuracy, targets hit, targets missed, and how quickly the target was hit. Based on this scenario, LG’s findings are somewhat limited to the shooter genre of games, but nonetheless find the players on Xbox better in these gaming environments.

PC gamers also had the lowest accuracy of all groups, with an average reaction accuracy of 67.1% compared to Xbox players with an average of 77.1%. However, the results found that PC gamers were the “quickest to react”, with 18% of the targets hit being green – indicating an early response to the test trigger. The test was created for the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, with test subjects consisting of 326 PC gamers, 478 PlayStation players, and 647 Xbox players.

While this research contributes to the argument around which players are the best, the question remains over which platform is the best for gamers, looking back on all the exclusive games and advances in tech from 2018. Moreover, looking forward to 2020, will the new Xbox ‘Scarlett’ consoles continue to create the best gamers, or will PlayStation players make up the distance on the new PS5?

TTG_ONLINER_69ER lest take into account the auto aim on consoles. theres no way you could out aim a mouse on a controller


It actually depends, some games have atrocious aiming on pc (Can't really think of the name but I have it installed) and it basically requires a controller. Honestly though, most pc games have way better aiming with a mouse.

Nick mercy and ghost aiden can kill anyone on pc with controllers

LebronIs6 so for the people who clearly didn't read the article or for the people who don't want to. The subject group for pc compared to ps4 and xbox on this test is substantially smaller which yields different results. Not to mention the test was conducted on a program that was created to test accuracy not gaming in overall including the popular ones, COD, Fortnite, ect. its also pretty biased because the test was ONLY conducted on the PC which means anyone could influence the results with a Mouse when doing the PS4 or Xbox One test. This test is extremely convoluted so no one should really read to much into it, we all know PC players are more accurate LMAO


Lol pc nerd is salty


Some people just cant take the facts LMAO


Have you ever heard of nicknercs or ghostayden they can kill any pc player

Good job on not reading the article at all. The test was the same for all people. Ps4 is for casuals, nothing wrong with it but everyone I know that switched from ps4 to xbox seems to be pretty awful at most games.

Yes they didn't test skill on each game, but that wouldn't be fair due it being one specific game that someone hasn't played or understand. They are saying in general xbox players are more accurate and react faster which may be true and would follow to any game. I saw people say we all know pc has more accurate people well obviously because you're on pc put them on a console and see how accurate they are. The pc (mouse) is more accurate not the player.

Xbox players are still better

This test 'report' is hilarious. The test (found here: https://www.lg.com/uk/love-2-game/reaction-test.html) shows nothing about how you play games but instead how quickly you can move your mouse to a target and click it. There's nothing about different genres, playstyles, games, teamwork, tactics, etc. It is complete clickbait.

If this test is anything to go by, every gamer stands at a shooting range with a semi-automatic weapon and does not move their character.

By personal experience, spending about 13 years as an xbox gamer then switching to PC, the skill difference is phenomenal.
I was pretty much always a top-3 player in most FPS games I played. I moved to PC around 2011 (exclusively PC around 2014) and I still find myself fighting for the top spot in FPS games on PC. All platforms have the 'highly skilled' players but from personal experience, PC players are a lot better.

The article states which platform is best for gamers but that's not even an issue; consoles offer easier plug & play ability and their own exclusive games. Besides that, PC dominates in every aspect from social, productivity, gaming, pricing... I could go on.
