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?

I'm getting the PS4 just because I like it, not because I think it's the better console, they are both great consoles.

They polled -40 year olds, although its mainly 15+ that mainly play on the consoles. Kinda of a bad poll if you ask me.

^this plus I'm just happy with how gaming is this generation! It's amazing
As I have said on a lot of other posts opinion are opinions not facts when they release then they can say its fact and not opinion.

In the words of Bane (not exactly) "When one console outsells the other, then you have my permission to talk trash." Until then everyone keep there mouths shut. We'll know who has the better console by the end of this year. You want opinion, I'm not getting either one until I decide which best fits my preferences.
