Ofttimes, looking at Amazon’s reviews provides some very interesting information. Not just about the quality of the product being sold, but also the number of the product sold, or at least how many people cared enough about the product to write about it. Whether good or bad, more reviews means more of that item were sold. Considering this, let’s take a look at the number of reviews for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox One, as well as the kind of reviews given (1 – 5 star). All these stats were taken from the Best Sellers page on Amazon.

Xbox One:

The Xbox One is current sitting at 511  total reviews, with an overall star count of 4 stars. Not too shabby at all, save for its 25th position (and falling) at Amazon forBest Sellers in Video Games. As you can see, the Xbox One has 268 5-star reviews (52%), 81 4-star reviews (16%), 40 3-star reviews (8%), 25 2-star reviews (5%), and 97-1 star reviews (19%). Overall, people like the Xbox One.

PlayStation 4:

The PlayStation 4, on the other hand, comes in at 4,429 reviews (as of early December 23rd, 2013), also at a respectable overall count of 4 out of 5 stars. The PlayStation 4 has 2,972 5-star reviews (67%), 340 4-star reviews (8%), 120 3-star reviews (3%), 69 2-star reviews (2%), and 928 1-star reviews (21%).

It sold way more in Amazon too... so kind of expected but the 8:1 is bigger than the sales ratio.

True. Look at the statistics though, really interesting, given people thought a lot of PS4's were breaking and what not. Xbone has 2% less 1 star reviews. While PS4 has much more 5 star reviews percentage wise.

Day One edition has 1,800 reviews.

Pointless thread is pointless.

i noticed this too a couple days ago. it's kinda weird...

Wonder why the Day One Edition has so many more.

It also seems to have the same 21% troll review rate of PS4.

Any one can post a review. It´s simple.

Or may be the Amazon sales rate is realy 2:1, considering how high the PS4 pre-sales where at Amazon.

because, in my expert opinion, both the ps4 and xbone got around 80% of their current reviews within 24 hours of launch.  if you are going to troll/hype something you got to get in early.

Xbox One owners are actually using their console more so they don't have time to write a review.

There I said it. That just happened.
