Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is PS4 dominating One in internet polls a hint at hardcore gamers heavily favoring it?

If MS drops the price to 349Euro/USD, then I think the situation will be changed. It is just about the price now.

No its an indication of sony fan presence on the internet.

Poll are always in favor of PS3, but this never materializes in real world sales.

Take a look at this, has GOWA outsold GOWJ 15:5... no it hasn't, its just forum fanboys swining the vote towards playstation as always.

Is there any reason right now to pick the Xbox One over the PS4? I mean, seriously. It's weaker, more expensive, bigger than a VCR and comes with an external brick. The hardware itself has literally no advantages whatsoever. Of course, it comes down to games. But just look at the output from Sony and Microsoft. Who is supporting their 7th gen system until this very day? Who keeps pumping out new IPs? With the Playstation, you don't have to care about games, they will come, that's for sure. Microsoft still has to prove that they are going to support their system in the same way.

Overall, Sony just did everything right while Microsoft didn't. That's why Sony deserves all the praise it gets. And if the sales will be higher, that will also be well deserved. It is simply the better system. I know I'm not allowed to say this, because of all that Fanboy crap and banning and blah. But it's the plain and simple truth.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

 Yep and when they share 90% the same games the choice is rather easy. People switched from Sony to Microsoft quite easily this gen because of it, and it will happen again as they return.



Wow. I was being sarcastic, and still, people said exactly what I said.

So site, in France, with mostly French traffic, advertised for a month on PlayStation fan sites, and that has only recently (2 days ago) seen traffic on major gaming sites, has a stronger showing for the PS4. Why should anyone be surprised by this?

I'm also guessing you can answer multiple times too.

You can answer everything multiple times. Who is to say the Xbox fans can't or wouldn't do it, too? It's always the Playstation fans that are the devious tricksters.

Did my comment imply one or the other?  I just said "I'm also guessing you can answer multiple times too." 

Read in too much?

Uhm...yes, it did. What would be the point, otherwise?

The point would be to differentiate between that and polls that only allow a person to vote once on a particular device or from a particular IP address.

I put absolutely no weight behind any Internet poll, collection of views, likes, dislikes, etc.

If they meant anything whatsoever, Wii would have sold 15 units and Battlefield would have outsold MW3 or Black Ops 2 by a 10:1 ratio.

Source?

"Wii would have sold 15 units" just ruins your argument. I'm asking about the hardcore here, not about the total sales.

Source? Um.. any poll, video, or really thread in general except maybe the ones you'd find on CallofDuty.com? Youtube BF3/MW3 videos are a great start. Enjoy.

And I was speaking about the hardcore with the Wii stuff. Clearly.



These polls mean next to nothing.

Well they *might* be able to show a tendency, but on a scientific level they are worthless if you want to know what's going to sell better.

Why not take the GDEX as a measurement ?

omg WiiU > Xbox One > PS4 *head explodes*

(of course that doesn't mean anything either)

Yes. The internet and this site are dominated by Sony gamers. Do you think the 157 million PS2 owners just vanished?


Microsoft took half of those gamers. The majority of them are sure to return next gen. Gamestop has had to cap the PS4 preorders because they are sold out.
