Surprise: Purchase intent polls show PS4 with a big lead over Xbox One

November 27, 2013

Two separate surveys are showing that the PlayStation 4 sits substantially ahead of Microsoft’s Xbox One when it comes to polling American consumers about console preference. According to Parks Associates, 36% of console shoppers favor PS4 while 27% are leaning towards Xbox One.

It’s possible that the decision to price the Xbox One $100 above the PS4 may hand Sony an edge in the short term when it comes to sales volume. But launch sales don’t necessarily tell much about the long-term success of a console.

From the article, "Surprise: Purchase intent polls show PS4 with a big lead over Xbox One" by Tero Kuittinen.
