o_O.Q said: um... if i'm reading that graph correctly... then no the wii u wins in terms of cumulative searches however, the ps3 does win in terms of most searches within a short time period |
Um no. See how the little bar graphs on the left are almost the same height?

1) Almost the same height is not the same height. The Nintendo bar is slightly taller, making "PS4 already more popular" a blatant lie.
2) note how the PS4 has searches going back a long way, back to before Nintendo's next console was even called the WiiU, when it was called Wii2 or WiiHD
3) There are some fairly interesting correlations.

PS3 > 360 > Wii in google trends, when the exact opposite is true for sales.
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en#q=DS%2C%20PSP&cmpt=q
PSP is higher on google trends than DS.
http://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en#q=3DS%2C%20PSV%20%2B%20Vita&cmpt=q
PSV + Vita is higher on Google trends than 3DS
720 + Durango is higher than PS4.
Google trends mean nothing.
Sony fans will be googling "How awesome is PS4 amirite?" and "how shit is durango amistillrite?"
MS fans will currently be googling "How awesome is Durango amirite?" and "how shit is PS4 amistillrite?"
WiiU owners are busy playing games.
Edit: Some more google trends
Apple is much higer than MS (and that is not from people searching for the fruit, unless people search for the fruit A LOT more than they used to)
