Reuters poll suggests the future looks dull for the Xbox One

PS4 Futue

Information technology really shouldn't come as a surprise, but PlayStation 4 is chirapsia down the Xbox One in consumer polling. Reuters asked one,297 people how probable they were to purchase an Xbox I or PS4 – and the results for die difficult Microsoft fans – are disappointing.

According to the poll, 26% of individuals reported that they are likely to purchase a PlayStation four from Sony; this is in contrast to the 15% of individuals who reported that they are likely to purchase an Xbox One from Microsoft.

Reuters has pointed out that the poll was created with a "limited sample", merely information technology is hard to argue against the idea that the polls may be foreshadow for Microsoft console sales.

Sony had announced terminal month that they had already received over 1 million preorders for the PS4. Microsoft is declining to give an verbal figure, merely states that preorders for their new Xbox One have already surpassed those of their Xbox 360 launch.

The Microsoft Reveal event for Xbox One was essentially a bomb and may have served as the beginning of a shoveling grave for the company's latest entertainment console. With DRM confusion scattered everywhere and consumers unsure if they would be able to sell used games, lend with friends, or even keep the console offline – an aura of "hate" quickly rose for Xbox One.

To this appointment, many people I speak to are still unaware of the changes Microsoft has fabricated to Xbox One – a detrimental sign that Microsoft isn't getting out in that location and correcting their error. On the other hand, some people I have spoken to accept only and honestly said that they like the PlayStation 4 lineup of games better. Others cite that they feel more of their friends will exist on PlayStation 4, so they will caput in that direction as well.

Are you an Xbox I fan – or has Microsoft let you lot down with their latest cosmos?
