Google say: Xbox 720 will be bigger than PS4

4.5
Even though neither Microsoft nor Sony have made any announcements regarding their upcoming next generation consoles. This hasn't stopped Google from announcing who they think will be winning the next console race.

Google claim that the Xbox720 (Or whatever its name will be) will be bigger than the PS4 because more people are searching the web for it. When comparing the search terms worldwide, they say that 60 percent of people are searching for Xbox720 compared to just 40 percent for the PS4.

Clearly not hugely scientific, but an interesting piece of information none the less. Although it can be due to websites and magazines claiming to have more information about the specs and features of the Next Gen Xbox compared to PS4.

We'd love to know which console you're most interested in and why, voice your opinions below!

I agree with Google, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

bottenfield ummmmm... neither because consoles are a waste and are slowing down the gaming industry. We on pc will have specs that are almost twice as fast even when either of these are released, sorry to say and at a much cheaper price tag :p


A good gaming PC costs WAY more then an Xbox with 2 controllers and live for a year with the newest game you can get.

WELL SAID !!!!!!!!!
Let's see here (note, these are all regular prices):

Xbox 360 (250GB version, cause let's face it, the 4GB one sucks)- $300
Live -$60
2 Controllers - $100
New game- $60
_____________
Total: $520

Now, for 520 dollars, you can build a pretty decent gaming PC for yourself. But let's extend this further. There are deals on Steam all the time, for sometimes half-off or more than what you would get on consoles. You save tons of money, especially if you buy a decent amount of games in the lifespan of your console/PC. In addition, it's not fair to only count 1 year of Live. In an average 5 year console generation, you'd be spending $300 of Live. Not to mention that when the new consoles come out, they'll be about $400. So here is a revised list of what the costs will be like next gen over the course of 5 years (not including games):

Xbox 720- $400
Live- $300
Extra controller- $60
______________________
Total= $760

IDK about you, but for around the same price, I can get a decent gaming PC for about 760, including upgrades over about 4 years (2 years per upgrade), for the same price. Not to count all the deals there are with Steam. Basically, consoles, in the long term, do not have a price advantage over PC's, and PC's can come out cheaper over time. That's why next gen, I'm going to be a PC gamer.



While this may be true, Pc games get hacks way more often then System Games.


So? That's a good thing. On PC, you have the choice of more mods such as this:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/227822-145-spmp-millenaire-npc-village-33-villagers-must-now-protect-themselves-from-mobs-fixes/

And those were just a few I found from a quick Google search. Can you get that kind of customizability on the Xbox/PS/Wii U? No.

Fact right here. That's why Microsoft has more console sales now than Sony. No hate, just saying.

I do think the Xbox 720 will be a bigger console than PS3. Xbox 720 will be upgrading tons of things, I think they might even do a built in kinnect, better voice sensor, more memory, better everything. :) I am going all otu for Xbox.

I disagree with google I think more people are searching xbox 720 because its a mystery the PS4 is excepted in my opinion I mean the playstation will probably keep going till 7 or 8 if you think about it can you really not see the playstation just stopping probably not now the xbooox im not sure I know Microsoft will continue consoles but not specifically the xbox series.

I can see this coming and being bigger. I like Xbox more anyways.

I will be buying the Xbox 720 over the PS4. I'm an xbox guy, since the original one I've been a fan. Never had a Play Station.
