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

iJarH3ad That doesn't count because it's no secret that there are tons of Play Station's fans spending time on the internet than xbox, so that's how lots of poll on the popular website wins Play Station over Xbox. I saw the poll on YouTube and it says which one has a better online between Play Station 3 and Xbox 360 other days and Play Station 3 wins over xbox 360 8 times more, but in realistic we all know that xbox live is far superior than Play Station 3 online.
This poll doesn't exist because too many Play Station's fans get bored of their console and use the internet instead. Seriously, it's hard to believe that Play Station's fans are influenced everywhere on the internet.
ignorance I love it..."we all know that xbox live is far superior then ps3 online" talk about an opinion. Xbox live is 60 bucks a year where the PSN is free for now. Xbox puts there online services behind a paywall.
If you think the xbox one is better then you just arent accepting the facts. The ps4 is more powerful, better GPU, and the service online (assuming what theyve said so far comes true) will be 100 times better because it wont be behind a paywall.
The only reason I could see getting the Xbone at launch is because you love forza or dead rising. Or because youve had the original xbox and had live way back then.

You must be stupid to believe what you just said, this website alone has an extremely Xbox oriented population, 19/20 of the people here are for Xbox 360. You're saying that PS4 won the polls because people that play sony consoles are on the internet all the time, that makes literally no sense. I believe, you sir, are a dumb ass, do not breed please, I do not want more of what you are roaming this earth.
Thank you.
Cuss me as much as you want. Just admit that it's true that there are tons of PS fans everywhere on the internet, but you're correct that there are lots of Xbox fans on this website, as you can see, TheTechGame used to be extremely popular for Modded xbox such as Jtag. Back in the time, TheTechGame gained thousands of members by seeing the gamertag "TheTechGame" on the Leaderboard from Modern Warfare 2. Well duh, that gamertag seen by millions of people.
Anyway, I'm not talking about TheTechGame, I'm talking about popular website such as Yahoo, youtube, facebook page and mostly popular regular website, they have full of PS fans. If you don't believe me then why don't you check out all the comments from Xbox and Play Stations's videos on YouTube? That's right, tons of hilarious PS's nerds bragging that Play Station iz the beeest c0ns0le in the wrld.
And finally, I find it funny when you start to flame to other people without knowing everything. Didn't your mom teach you some manners. Your brain is filled with full of negative, son, time to grow up.
A kindly note, look like someone reported you. Have a nice day.

I honestly don't think it's more popular, I just think it was a more reasonable choice to preorder first, seeing that it is cheaper. I think there will be lot of people waiting until Christmas week, and so. And lots of people saving up atm.

I am glad it is more popular because it means more to play online with. But end of the day it is down to each individuals taste. So while some like the PS4 just as many (near enough) like the Xbox One. No point scoring can be gained by what is more popular to be honest.

One of the main reasons why people want the PS4 is because it's going to be $100 cheaper.
