PS4 more popular among consumers than Xbox One, according to Reuters

4.3
PlayStation 4 will be this holiday season’s format of choice, according to a poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos.

Yahoo News reports that the poll was conducted last week – between Sept 23-27 and some 1,297 people were surveyed. 26 per cent of those consulted said they would buy a PS4 at or after launch, while 15 per cent preferred the Xbox One.

The gap is said to widen when sampling the 408 people polled under the age of 40, with 41 per cent favouring PS4, and 27 per cent looking to buy an Xbox One.

Off the bat, I’m wondering why most of the people polled were over the age of 40, seeing as the target demographic is currently hitting heights of 35, but that’s by-the-by.

Of the 1,297 respondent people polled, only 3 per cent said they played games on Wii U. 20 percent on Xbox 360, 18 per cent on PS3 and 20 per cent on home computers.

PS4 releases November 15 and 29 in the US and EU respectively, while Xbox One drops November 22 in both regions.

What do you make of the stats above?

-Skillz Xbox One (Xbone) is gonna be the dominate console at the end


I don't know man, I'm getting both but I can't see x1 being top if it doesn't lower the price and or drop kinect


This would of been a much closer war without the mandatory kinect

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one

Check out some of the numbers, polls, and people outside of TTG

I'm biased but also realistic, idc who wins the "console war" but I would put money on the ps4

Daw Who cares ? If you like the console, BUY IT. Stop the arguments and statistics. What's the point ?


If only it were that easy for everyone, i think some people just like arguing over consoles


So true, I have pointed this out multiple times it would be better to try and get blood out of a stone but that is not happening arguments will continue until one of the companies goes bust and I definatley cannot see that happening lol.


Unless Microsoft brings back their DRM policies, lol

only kidding

Pashtun Of course it's popular. I took a small survey of my video game design class (40 people) and they all said PS4 except like two.


All the surveys I've seen have been pretty one-sided, besides on TTG lol
