What's the point of this? All of the launch consoles are going to sell out for the first 60-90 days regardless. So, doing a survey about what ratio will buy at launch is just stupid. It is a survey of the group on the site, so obviously the PS users outnumber the Xbox users 4 to 1.

I wouldn't be so sure about the XOne, not in all European country's atleast.

Actually, no. In the survey it's more like 6:1 WW. However, the 4:1 ratio comes from a retailer in NL. Another one saw 3:1.


Didthey release how many consoles willl be available at launch for each console?  NO.  What if Sony has 4 times as many consoles available for preorder?  Maybe they do or maybe they don't.  Pre-Orders mean bunk.  If it's like here in the states, there isn't a lot(actually zero) of XBone signage at my local Gamestops.  So, which way are presells going to look here.  I haven't been to Europe lately to check out these retailers, but who knows what they are pushing andwhat incentives their companies are receiving from either side.  THere are a lot of factors that go into early pre-orders...  I would expect a lot more pre-orders for the cheaper system.  Of course it didn't help that M$ had the worst launch ever...



Meanwhile in Japan...



Comming to think of it, I never went for the Winner in a Console fight, so this suits me perfectly :).

This is happening worldwide (maybe not the 4:1 ratio) so this is definitely a sign of what's to come.

 

Edit: the pre-order data not the survey.



This will change my man...

The xboxOne simply wont win in Europe or japan for the matter of fact. It will be just like this gen, The americans will prefer the XboxOne while just about everywhere else will prefer the PS4.

Playstation will definitely own Europe, it's always done good there and it always will.

Not saying that I disagree, but I'm sure a lot of people thought that with the PS3 and Xbox 360.  Americans will prefer the PS3 over 360 just as they preferred the PS2 over Xbox.  

youve actaully got a good point there, but the PS2 did have all the important games as exclusives and thats all changed now, it lost games like MGS and GTA which were system sellers and now the are multiplat, i think thats enough for the US to stick with the Xbox. BUT i could be wrong, this is just my prediction as sorts.

I believe the same will happen, although I think PS4 will be a bit closer to XBOne in the U.S compared to how close the PS3 was to X360.
