As far as I can tell the PS4 is winning the initial propaganda battle over XBoxOne. Now I claim no expertise here. I've barely touched video games since I had kids. My last console was the PS2. But a lot of the guys I work with are avid gamers and they are all plumping for the PS4 (even those who used to be XBoxers). Kids a bit older than my own all seem to be getting PS4s for XMas. The site where I work has a huge 'GAME' shop (vid game chain here in the UK) and there were queues out the door on PS4 launch day but not so much on XBoxOne release day. Generally friends who are into these things (i.e. those without kids yet) are on a bit of a downer about the new XBox.
Is this anecdotal evidence misleading? Or do sales figures etc. bear any of the above out?
As a vaguely interested observer.........
