Gamespot has surveyed nearly 4000 next generation console owners to judge how satisfied they are with their purchase and right now the PlayStation 4 brand is winning with an overall rating of 8.71 out of 10.
The Xbox One isn’t that far behind with an overall satisfaction rating of 8.2/10 which goes to show that both consoles have landed well with the gamers but if we didn’t compare the two then what else could we talk about so close to the holiday season, thanks Neogaf
What I do find interesting however is that the high up the satisfaction charts you go the bigger the PS4’s lead becomes while the exact opposite happens as you go down the chart.
With 6% of the Xbox One owners rating their console as a 4 or less compared to only 2% for the PlayStation 4 crowd.
It’s definitely still early days but the Xbox One is targeted more towards the American market with their cable integration so I can’t see the Xbox One doing any better than this American study when it is finally released in all regions.
However the real winner of this generation will be chosen by the games that are released on both platforms. The Xbox One has teased some incredible exclusives in the near future and Sony has recently stated that new IP’s are critical to the future of the PlayStation 4 making this generation possibly the most exciting one we’ll ever see.
And people were worried that console gaming was dying.

As far as I know, the PS+ lineup for January is Don’t Starve, Devil May Cry and Soul Sacrifice. So not too bad 🙂

I just started playing Warframe, and you know what I like it. It starts off slow and then increases the difficulty steadily. Not to mention the gunplay is solid, the controls are smooth (bar a few niggles when you try to jump and scale sometimes), and the netcode’s fine. It’s not as smooth as Killzone, but I think I’m going to enjoy this little free game.

Yeah, but it is F2P (almost feels like a F2P MMO at times). If this was a full retail game and it came with a paywall, I would have shat on it from a dizzy height.

I haven’t quite finished Mercury yet. Didn’t help I got “lost” in 4th mission with no idea where/what to do. Hour later managed to find my way. It did help leveling up though.

Am from the UK and I love my Xbox One so I don’t think saying it’s more targeted at an American market more due to cable integration as valid as I put my cable through it, am not trying to start a fanboy war cause am not a fanboy I just feel that part of the article although having some merit isn’t the concentric overall feeling.

Exactly, and most consumers buying next gen am sure will have a cable/sky broadband or television contract; nearly everywhere on the planet has 1000 channels with nothing on to watch lol

I’m calling BS on this article I’ve barely touched my PS4 since the Xbox One launched. Killer Instinct and Forza 5 are far superior launch games than Killzone and Knack and as for MP competition, for games like COD and BF4 have better players on Xbox. That’s always been the way and so far it hasn’t changed.
I know a lot of people that have either sold or have their PS4’s just sitting collecting dust already so I doubt this article is very accurate.

That’s great for you, but the poll wasn’t “Is Knightwing19 more satisfied with his Xbox One or his PS4?” People are allowed to have different opinions.

this is trivial and pointless. There are way to many variables for this to even be an argument. The only poeple who even deserve to have an opinion about this, are those who have both systems. So you guys just go on and keep trashing your opposing system, because you dont actually have both, and dont actually know what your talking about.
Chris Lynch
December 22, 2013 at 06:52
You believe a person must own both systems to answer the question,”On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you of your purchase?”
Willem Swanepoel
December 20, 2013 at 07:21
All those people who are dissatisfied (from 6 and below) the reason why is because they owned a PC and realised that they should have spend the money on an upgrade 😉
