Microsoft: 8.45 million watched Xbox One reveal event in first 24hours
Microsoft, via its Xbox Wire blog, did not give any specific info on the number of concurrent viewers of its live Internet stream on Xbox.com or via the Xbox 360 console. However, the company did state that the numbers were triple the previous record of concurrent viewers on Xbox.com. It added:
"According to our friends at Akamai, our streaming partner, the Xbox Reveal event was among the most watched live broadcasts delivered by Akamai in their history, nearly doubling peak traffic records and eclipsing concurrent viewership high-water marks set by events such as the 2010 World Cup, Royal Wedding in 2011, and 2012 election night."
In the US, the Xbox One reveal event was shown live on the Spike cable TV network. Microsoft said over 1.73 million people watched the show on Spike, which was broadcast in the US in the late morning and early afternoon hours; that's actually some impressive ratings numbers for a pay cable channel in the middle of the day.

EvenBeetiJarH3adunvers What about for ps4?
Probably around 100 people...
Ps4 suck, nuff said.
I don't know why you would say that. Microsoft has been money driven hores and they had a very disappointing X1 reveal.
Stop being an ignorant fanboy. Anyone making an assumption on which is better this early is a fanboy.
So Sony isn't a money driven *****? Honestly just about every large corporation is a money *****, and to say Microsoft is one and excluding Sony is a joke. Microsoft is one of the largest charity donors. I don't ever hear anything about Sony donating money to good causes...
But sony has lost 4 billion dollars in the ps3 franchise, so I guess they arne't mony driven :)

I think X1 and PS4 will be like PS2 and the 1st Xbox, so I might get both. If "PSN" is still free for PS4 then I'm definitely getting PS4 first.
I can't wait for this upcoming generation of gaming. Both consoles seem like they won't disappoint.
