I don't know why you people are even discussing the PS4 when Xbox 720 searches have clearly outnumbered the PS4 in google searches. People aren't even interested in the PS4 anymore, it already lost the next gen console war before it could even grace store shelves. 

what are people typically typing when searching. Are they typing Playstation, PS3, PS4, playstation 3, playstation 4? xbox, xbox 360, 720, xbox 720 etc?

you get different results depending on that factor.

How did this happen? Well for starters Sony should never have launched the PS3 at such a high price point, 500/600 bucks, that definitely hurt their brand. The launch games were not that stellar, and people lost interest real quick. Other than Uncharted and GT5 there weren't many big blockbuster Sony exclusive hits on PS3. The Gran Turismo games (their best system sellers) were few and far in between. Sony lost a lot of exclusivity to many of its best third party games that helped drive PS1, PS2, and PS3 sales like GTA, Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Crash, Spyro, Final Fantasy, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Ace Combat, Assassins Creed, Metal Gear Solid, and more. Putting the Cell processors in the PS3 was also a big mistake, and it made games harder and more expensive to produce on PS3. And as a result many third party games simply looked better on Xbox 360. Blu Ray has not generated the same kind of excitement for the PS3 like the DVD player did for the PS2. Sony has lost touch with its casual audience that were so profound during the PS1 era with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. Littlebigplanet has not lived up to the same standard. The PSN hacking debacle really hurt them, and probably defected customers to Xbox Live. Sony really has been playing it too safe when it comes to innovation, and trying to copy the Wii Mote with Playstation Move made them look desperate and out of ideas. And the PS controller could use an overhaul since it's basically the same damn controller since the 90s. Also, the console itself is weird looking and unsexy like the PS2. The PS3 Slim and Super Slim did not help, and looked like a step backwards in design.

Are there any other important factors I forgot about? I could probably give hundreds of reasons but i'd be here all night.

He is probably just backing up what he is saying by putting graphs etc... to prove his argument.

Im interested in the ps4 but yet I've never searched it on google and yet i've actually searched 720, maybe because I wanna see what the big fuss is about. Google is also not the most used search enhine in japan where the ps3 usually shits all over the 360.

Well Google dominates in North American search and the PS4 needs to be successful in North America to win the next gen war.

i'm not saying Sonys shouldn't, i'm saying this is their first chance for overlapping handhelds meaning it should have been a chance for better overall playstation brand sales, but it just didn't happen that way due to quickly dying psp and slow starting psv.
