Microsoft just unveiled their latest next gen console, Xbox One, which they claimed as the new all-in-one entertainment system. Meanwhile PS4 fight back with their RSVP invitation named "See it first June 10th" - an event take place in E3 Press Conference live June 10, 2013.
I will not talk about how mighty is this 2 gaming console, since I'm not the tech expert. But in case you are curious which console is the mightiest, BGR has a post showing Microsoft Xbox One vs. Sony PlayStation 4 Spec comparison.
Now what I want to show you here is the battle of popularity between this 2 console. Which product is more attractive for users? Which is the most awaited gaming platform? Is it PS4 or Xbox One? On this post I use several online media as my benchmark metrics.
Youtube
Youtube as the most popular video-sharing website in the world provide an open public access to each Xbox and PlayStation subscribers and view counts. I will use this as one of the metrics.
Subscribers: PS dominated Youtube by owning 4.7 times bigger subscribers compared to Xbox, despite they registered on the site 46 days later after Xbox.
Video Views: PS has 4.99 times bigger in view counts.
Winner: PS4
Twitter
Twitter, online social networking and microblogging service site can also be use to measure each product competitiveness.
Followers: It is no secret that modern world indicator of popularity is pretty much represent by the number of followers you have in Twitter. In my table here, PS wins 1.6 times bigger than Xbox. An additional note here: PS registered 475 days before Xbox.
Winner: PS4
Facebook
Facebook, the most popular online social networking service, also have some data that can be use by me.
Likes: Likes pretty much works like followers in Twitter, but the number also represent those user who like a product, despite they are not willing to subscribe to product latest news, update, and promotional stuff. Based on my table above, PlayStation win 1.5 times over Xbox in Likes, and 2.26 times in discussion.
Winner: PS4
Verdict
Based on data from 3 top Internet sites, I conclude PlayStation 4 as the winner. Sony leads in term of likeness and number of fans.
