Damn people. Whats with all stealth trolling going on? Its an interesting article and in no way did he say that this was what was going to happen when the consoles launch. Just a simple observation made by a company who is in a position to do so. The fact that in the past it turned out to be correct doesnt hurt its credibility.
But Returning to the topic. This is very interesting. Both the World wide data and the US data favor the 720 by strong double digit leads. Undoubtedly because 720 rumors are abounding far more than PS4 rumors |
Perhaps a parody of this prediction, based off empirical data, shall illustrate why some of Vgchart's finest are perhaps a bit, um, skeptical...
(...Google organized the internet…. let me say that again… GOOGLE…ORGANIZED THE INTERNET. But enough about Google and their information gathering prowess. Let’s discuss how they’re predicting the winner of the Next Gen Console War.
Statistically, in the U.S. the aptly named new Playstation, the PS3, is searched for considerably more than the Xbox360.
In the last 96 months, searches for information on the new Playstation has overwhelmed searches for Xbox360. Looking closely at how both future consoles stand in the eyes of the United States...
...We suggest you take a look at Google Trends and compare PS3 and Xbox360, and select the “Forecast” feature. The results, if you don’t believe us by now, will shock you...)
Hmmm...well, that grain of salt just snapped the legs off of a teak wood dining table. :P

Well damn sir... I cant believe you actually took the time to look up that information. Honestly I could care less. But good for you, proving me (and google) wrong. Bravo. Well done, Do you want an award?

Well I am more of a discussion/thinking fellow, so I don't care so much about being right, but I appreciate you replying! :D (People tend to avoid me :/ )

lol, not sure why they are avoiding you, but what you just posted here is certainly not helping as you are proving nothing wrong with Google:)
Try replacing "xbox360" by "xbox 360" next time... I do not think a lot of people are searching for "xbox360" in one word usually which is the case for the PS3.... http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-US#q=xbox%20360%2C%20PS3&cmpt=q
To illustrate my point, I did the same with "Playstation3" and "xbox360"... It is going the other way:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-US#q=xbox360%2C%20playstation3&cmpt=q
And now just to finish, look at "Playstation" versus "Xbox" only:
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-US#q=xbox%2C%20playstation&cmpt=q
For the last one I think that people are using the keyword PS2 or PS3 more often so it is explaining the differences as I would expect them to be closer.
So nope, I do not think Google is wrong with their numbers!
