Doesn't really explain why 1/3 of the PS4 userbase were 360, Wii, or 360/Wii-only users from last generation. Also, PS3 continues to get a lot of support even though the PS4 is selling like hotcakes. Heck, Tales of Xillia 2 came out recently.


Just an FYI that survey was what consoles do you currently own if you are a PS4 owner. It has nothing to do with conversion, which doesnt mean people are/arent converting. 38% currently own a wii/x360. 17% own only a PS4 and the other 45% still have thier PS3's. Its just a junk clickbait title put out there by the gaming media.

edit: I personally know a few converts, that are also getting X1's at some point.

Read Kresnik's link. Just because you don't like the results of a survey, it doesn't make it clickbait.

"According to data given to Re/code, Nielsen surveyed 1,200 gamers from age 7 to 54 and found that 31 percent, almost a third, bought a PS4 after owning an Xbox 360 or Wii, but not a PS3."

"However, there’s one big caveat to the survey, which is that it asked only what consumers currently owned at the time of the survey, not what they had owned in the past. So, people who sold their PlayStation 3 in order to buy a PlayStation 4 would’ve been marked down as non-PS3 owners."

As reported on multiple sites. Just because you want something to be true doesnt not make it clickbait.

edit 2: Your quote just reinforces what I was saying. Good job.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
