Yes, which goes a long way to show us social media statistics have marginal real world value. The PS4 still beat the Xbox One easily over the course of the year. My guess is that people are mentioning Xbox because Microsoft pushes "Xbox" really hard as a brand, and because of the hardware and system announcements, but that doesn't seem to correlate into sales. As for games, Fallout 4 completely dominated mentions last E3, by an even greater margin than Zelda. |
Are you sure the stadistics are the problem or is it E3 dwindling relevance? Does the casual Call of Duty crowd even care about E3? Is the PS4 really the system where most of the core gamer audience is and not just the mainstream choice? There are many ways in which these studies can be seen, but they are always only a small part of a bigger picture. It doesn't tell the entire story but they still can tell an integral part of it. They are not definitive, but is wrong to dismiss their importance.
What is shown is what happened during the few days of E3. Nothing more.
