Microsoft Xbox more popular than PlayStation 3

PCW: Microsoft's Xbox 360 is more popular than Sony's Playstation 3 or Nintendo's Wii, according to new research. 43 percent of all online games console searches are for the Xbox 360, while Sony's Playstation 3 is lagging behind with 31 percent of all searches. Nintendo Wii is the least popular games console, accounting for just 16 percent of all searches relating to consoles.

The Xbox's popularity may steam from the Kinect, which was launched earlier this month.

Cabbage Patch dolls are also more popular then Baby Born dolls...

Not sure why anyone cares which plastic lunch box is the most popular.

I mean I know I would be totally stoked if my favourite pass time was on the Toys 'R' Us best seller list.....

He's getting his post-modern on, the avatar he uploaded was identical to the avatar-less background.

Very sneaky and clever, kudos to him.

The 360 has always had the most online searches yet it's been outsold 4 years in a row by both the PS3 and the Wii.

SCThor4906d ago

but they didn't say, that 43% is about "How to fix RROD on XBOX360".....indeed popular

PostApocalyptic4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

Search number speculation...

The gist of the article is that Move and Kinect have spurred searches for both. But there's a problem with the Kinect. The casual soccer moms and professional dads will buy it ($150 or $300 bundle) and later experience buyers remorse. It's already happened in my office.

"Minority Report" promises look great in hype. But when you actually take it home and play with it. At most a gimmick more than anything else. At the very least not worth $150.

Sony never promised that the Move was anything more than a more powerful version of the Wii Plus. It is: More accurate, 720p/1080p, and more powerful. That's it.

PC's are more popular than Mac's does that mean PC's are better ?

Now the questions circulate:

Should we follow this, or the reports that mentioned PlayStation as being the "most followed" brand in the world (as well as the PS symbol being the most recognizable in the world)?

EDIT: Nevermind, this is only based on searches from just that site, not around the web.

karl4907d ago

yeah
besides.. its probably people looking for news about 2011 xbox exclusives...

google is going to crash if they keep at it..

insomnium24906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

OMG I almost pissed my pants cause of you. LOL!

Malicious4907d ago

So the 360 is the Justin Bieber of video game consoles.

BlackBusterCritic4907d ago

Exactly. Especially when its fanbase seems to adore AUTO TUNE. =)

No FanS Land4907d ago

spot on! +bubbles

So this would make the PS3 either the NIN or TOOL of the video game consoles (relying on diverse composition techniques and not tried and tested sounds :D)

Pehdahosman4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

Someones forgetting the wii,another weird thing is that You guys didn't make those kind of jokes when Sony WAS winning.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv721d 10h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii1d 12h ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast1d 9h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM1d 6h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife19h ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit15h ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife13h ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
