Of the people (non scientific) that I know that have used both prefer the Xbox One over the PS4 at about 3/4th of the time. A total Sony fad admit that he liked the Xbox One better.

But from someone to spend time playing at GamesCom paying both, this is there statement. I think it's rather powerful:

That's not a remotely powerful image, it just shows someone decided they preferred one over the other. The opposite likely happens just as often. Welcome to the world of consumer freedom! :P

Actually, it was after playing both that they changed their mind.  So much as they went and canceled their PS4 order and switch all of their credit to the Xbox One.  What could be a bigger  statement than that?

I predict more migration will happen once more people get to see and play both.  When you have a lousy movie - the production company promotes it heavily before it is out.  So you can make your money quickly because you know it will drown under the competition. 

I cancelled 3 pre-orders for ps4 and 3 for xbox one, ones i was originally going to buy for the office, but instead decided id wait and buy them middle-to-late 2014, a single person switching preorders and posting about it doesnt mean a thing, they could just as easilly change their mind and switch again before release.

If there was an influx of multiple people all doing the same and posting proof, then id say it was notable, but not worrying.

However way you look at it, both consoles are going to be more or less sold out by the end of the year anyway so it makes very little difference in the bigger picture.

And that goes for people switching from xbox to ps too.

You must drive sales people crazy, lol!

The difference with this one is, the guy went around and played a bunch of games on both.  Realized he would rather play the games on one system and switched his order.  To my knowledge this is the first time he has done and that has not revoked it.

I agree, I think they both will have good launches.  Then once people get to use the things, they will start differentiating.  The real competition doesn't happen till 2014.  (As that's when most of the games come out.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I understand they played both, but that still doesn't make it “powerful”. When you haven’t tried them you are making your decision based on assumptions of the information you have read and seen, those assumptions may not actually be correct and result in your choice changing upon trying both.

 It's no different than how after playing on a 360, PS3 and PC, I chose the PC as my main "platform" because it suited my preferences better, were as millions of others chose the PS3 or 360. Does that mean I have created a powerful message for the PC now? :P Of course not, that would be stupid, in the same way calling a receipt that shows a common occurrence is “powerful”.

I'll just do the sameto my ds4s as I did to a spare ds3, mod one to have 360 layout analog and leave one default.
The 360 layout is nice for some games and the ds3 layout nice for others.

Sure, sure sure, keep telling yourself that.

He tried both, and dumped his preorder and switched it to the Xbox One.

Here, I want you to feel batter, have some cake:

Ah, so me, one person, preferring the PC after playing with the 360, PS3 and PC is proof the PC the single best platform for gaming?

Seems PC gamers truly are the master race then ;)

Again, it one perons playing all of them and rethinking his financial commitment.  He dumped his PS4 pre order for what he thought was better, the Xbox One.  That's a very powerful statement.   Sorry if it upsets you so much.

I gave you cake so you could go away and be happy.  Ok, hmm, I'll try again. Here have a motor cycle:

I don't get what you're saying exactly.  He changed because of the controllers?  If so, that's sad, as I'm sure they're both very good.  If you're saying he changed because of the launch games, personally I find that amusing, that someone would be that shallow with their decisions, but okay.  I have no problem with that.

However, you saying that personal taste is a "powerful statement" is just silly.  Someone liked one set of games better, big deal.  It's not the first either way and probably won't be the last.

Uh, you seem to be doing some kind of condescending thing with pictures, so here you go.
