More Gamers Prefer Playing Battlefield 4 on Sony’s Consoles

Angie Santiago from SpawnFirst reports: "At EA’s BF4Stats page for Battlefield 4, we get some very interesting metrics on the number of people playing Battlefield 4 on each specific system at any given time. Now granted, the stats do change and are dynamic (so the screenshot below only captures a snapshot of the number of players online at the time), but even with the constant flux, I’ve noticed certain trends showing up on the page."

[aquamala]

why is the headline not "More Gamers Prefer Battlefield 4 on PC"?

the player count clearly shows that

PC 75,561
PS3 54,038
XBOX360 39,612
XBOXONE 22,211
PS4 36,716

[iamnsuperman]

Because of how the article is titled. It says Sony's consoles (note plural) right there in the title

Edit: I don't know I didn't write the article. I just merely pointed out the obvious. Up to the author to decide that

[aquamala]

and what is the point of combining player counts of these 2 incompatible consoles?

[Hatsune-Miku]

More gamers prefer playing battlefield 4 on the best gaming platform sony ps4

[NewZealander]

title is stupid because how can you say what you "prefer" unless you have played all versions, and are PC players not gamers now? whole article seems rather amateur.

[SolidStoner]

But it is kinda true... there is more people on Sony's camp when you combine them obviously..

but leading numbers for BF like always is for PC.. and its no surprise, BF started on PC, I played all of them.. and then started again on PS3 with Bad Company 1.. (oh, wasnt there a really bad version of console BF version on PS2 also.. I played something like that...)

[mikeslemonade]

Really.. y'all comparing a month old game on PS4 to PC?? It's actually consoles vs PC. And consoles beat your PC.

[CarlosX360]

@aquamala It's not that difficult to understand...

PS3 54,038
PS4 36,716
--------------
Total: 90,754

Vs

XBOX360 39,612
XBOXONE 22,211
---------------
Total: 61,823

Like the title says "More Gamers Prefer Playing Battlefield 4 on Sony’s Consoles"

@NewZealander He's not saying PC gamers aren't gamers, read the context that's being said: "More Gamers Prefer Playing Battlefield 4 on Sony’s CONSOLES"

PC's aren't CONSOLES.

@mikeslemonade This isn't about comparing two games or two machines. This is just saying there are more players on Sony CONSOLES that prefer BF4 ON [that brand].

[starchild]

What's the point of this article then? The PS3 and PS4 are two separate consoles.

Oh I get it. It's just more crappy fanboy nonsense trying to pit Playstation and Xbox gamers against each other.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

He's got an old computer that can't run the calculator program. 90,754 > 75,561.

[mikeslemonade]

^Carlos

Thanks for clarifying. For some reason I saw the word "PS4".

PC gamers always saying "But look at me" lol

[Charybdis]

More Sony console owners are playing battlefield it seems (at least at the time of that screenshot). Would be interesting to see a graph of the number of players since the launch of battlefield and maybe an average.

Wonder if this is mainly due to a higher number of total sales on sony consoles or the lack of updates and problems with battlefield on Microsoft consoles.

[UltimateMaster]

How's this. There's more people playing on PS3 and PS4 combined than there is on PC or Xbox combined.

OR

There's more people playing on Microsoft owned devices (PC/X1/X360) than there is of Sony's (PS3/PS4)

Either way, pick your personal preference.
Does anyone really care?

[ProjectSeoul]

But the title of this article is stupid. How can he say that gamers prefer to play Battlefield 4 on the PS consoles than anything else? Just because he has seen numbers?

[Corpser]

lol so true that's what the player count shows, but let's make this about Sony vs MS

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

It just comes down to preference. My buddy has BF4 on PS4 and I have BF4 on XB1 and it is the same game regardless. His 900p does look slightly easier on the eyes, especially when looking down range but the textures are equal down to veins in a leaf lol. What I did think was strange being a Hardware Guy, is the Textures load at the same speed on each console, which was a surprise since PS4 uses a faster Bandwidth RAM (GDDR5) which any PC or game Tech savy person knows that Textures, character models, objects, etc. are RAM Extensive task and the faster the RAM the faster the Textures and world loads... except this instance. Not sure what MS has going on under the hood with that eSRAM, but I tell you the bandwidth is MUCH faster than the 68gb/s DDR3 speeds they released thats for sure!

[Ju]

Textures load with a fraction of that bandwidth. That's why you can't see a difference. The bottleneck is not the RAM, but the "drive" you load them from. This will not even come close to a couple of MB/sec (SDDs could load up to 500MB/s - HDDs ~50MB/s) - RAM is exponentially faster than that (GDDR or DDR3). Either one outperforms this for obvious reasons.

[dantesparda]

@Gutz

hey dinkles, those things are being streamed in from the HDD and they are both 5400RPM drives, so there goes your theory. But the higher res and higher average framerates on the PS4 are directly attributed to the faster RAM. The res alone is 56% higher on the PS4 than on the X1 and its been said by devs that the PS4's RAM is ~40-50% faster/higher. The RAM system on the X1 is a bottleneck anyway you cut it, until they find ways around it

Update: Ju beat me to it, but good, you're backing up what im saying

[badboy776]

Sad When you consider Microsoft Advertises Games like this & COD as Xbox Exclusives with Timed DLC on TV commercials.

[Bigpappy]

Well it is know that Xbox owners who play online FPS play COD. So it makes sense for BF sales on the console to be hampered by that fact alone.

Since COD is the #1 FPS on either console, that is where a sales comparison should focus if a point needs to be made.

[SilentNegotiator]

"it is know that Xbox owners who play online FPS play COD. So it makes sense for BF sales on the console to be hampered by that fact alone"

Flawless logic. If there's a more popular game, then comparison of the next most popular game is invalid.

/s

[Bigpappy]

@SilentNegotiator: The larger the sample the more accurate the measure will be.

You should not have skipped the statistic class.

And I should have taken typing so I could see some of these error. But you seem to have gotten the point, so.

[SilentNegotiator]

You're assuming that this is purely a PS vs Xbox article, when it's just comparing how popular BF4 is in each community. Not everything is a console war.

[Bigpappy]

I am sure you are not that naïve. With that title and if you ignore my comments and look at the others, you will find all kinds of wars going on. Why exactly do you think the title was chosen and why do you think it was submitted to N4G? ... mission accomplished.

[andibandit]

Hasnt the weight distribution thruout the entire last gen been
Cod. Most on xbox,
Bf. most on ps

I dont see how any of this is news

[USA007]

Honestly the most players I've seen online on Ghosts was 21k, so less than what that shot of BF4 shows. Usually I see it average about 16-18k this is XB1 by the way.

I was also responsible for 18 of ghosts sales on XB1, so that could have skewed it. (Not really)

[stavrami-mk2]

or it could say battlefield players prefer to play on sony products ??

[CarlosX360]

That's what this article is saying.

[stavrami-mk2]

carlosx360 if your gonna reply to me look at who and what question I'm answering .

[ForgottenProphecy]

Just read the title. "Sony's consoles". 54+36 > 75. People that play on PS3 more than likely would be playing on PS4 if they had the funds and could find one in stock.

[nutcase13]

Im sorry but your comment does not make sense. Playercount means shit. I assume that the reason more people play on PC is because they dont have a ps4. I smell a PC fanboy in our midst...

[andibandit]

You assumed wrongly

[Visiblemarc]

It's just an article showing that Sony consoles are the most popular platforms for this particular game. Not sure there is much to it beyond that.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I can see that.

There are more PS4's sitting in peoples living rooms then are X1's.

[Bigpappy]

So why is COD selling more on Xbox One at a much lower resolution to boot? Can you also see that?

[Omegasyde]

@bigpappy. Easy answer, the FPS crowd is split among 4 games.

There are 4 different first person shooters on the PS4:

Call of Duty
Battlefield 4
Killzone 4
Blacklight

For, Xbone there is only 2...Cod and Bf.

[ForgottenProphecy]

@Bigpappy
Alot of Xbox gamers are also Call of Duty gamers, so it's natural they would chose Xbox One as their console. Also, as Omegasyde said, there are more FPS's on PS4 currently, especially with Killzone being the biggest launch exclusive between the two consoles.

[Why o why]

To be fair that micro analysis explained why many of sonys exclusives didnt hit halo or gran turismo numbers. Sonys platform just offered more choice and peoples disposable income or time isn't increasedjust because there are more games. If you only have 3 things on your menu the likelihood is that each of the 3 would sell more than if there were 12 on the menu.. Simple economics.

[Ju]

3 Call of Duty: Ghosts PS4 2013 Shooter Activi sion 1.08
4 Call of Duty: Ghosts XOne 2013 Shooter Activ ision 1.02

Huh ???

[GribbleGrunger]

The plural in the headline is there for a reason.

"More Gamers Prefer Playing Battlefield 4 on Sony’s Console(s)"

[pyramidshead]

So much for that whole dedicated servers advantage people used to hound off for the XB1. Top lels.

[kingduqc]

Is there a point to this article? I mean, even timezone affect those stats greatly, Usually when it's 5-8pm in Europe there is just way more people playing on pc then any other platform (not sure about combined)

Also that bf4 is plagued with bugs since release, I saw up to 150 000 ppl on pc alone not so long ago and now the numbers keep getting smaller and smaller because of those bugs.

[Sarcasm]

PC 75,561
PS3 + PS4 = 90,754

You answered your own question.

But as a singular platform, then you are correct more people are on the PC.

But that number is unfortunately paltry compared to COD numbers. Probably because COD mostly works.

[frostypants]

@aquamala, you were wrong...stop trying to move the goalposts.

[MadLad]

Because it will be a better article for this site.
Face it, at the end of the day this is still a PC-centric series and the numbers show that.
Doesn't matter how you decide to look at the numbers.

[GribbleGrunger]

How can you possibly consider Battlefield a PC centric game? More people play the game on consoles and that's clear to see. Have you any idea how many more PCs there are out there than consoles? God only knows how low the percentage of sales for Battlefield on the PC is when that's taken into account.

"Doesn't matter how you decide to look at the numbers."

For me a higher number indicates 'MORE' ... I haven't got a clue how you see it:

Consoles: 152,277 (165 million install base)

V

Gaming PCs: 75,561 (500 million install base, easily)

[MadLad]

"How can you possibly consider Battlefield a PC centric game?"

In the way that a supposedly niche platform in the gaming market, and, considering it is BF4, even more niche in being only those with relatively powerful rigs can play, has a larger concurrent player count than any of the mainstream gaming platforms.
About sums it up.

[GribbleGrunger]

But more people play it on consoles.

PC 75,561
PS3 54,038
XBOX360 39,612
XBOXONE 22,211
PS4 36,716

[AKS]

@GribbleGrunger

Well, Battlefield originated on PC, and it is played more on PC than any other single platform.

You're getting very creative in combining figures for various platforms. It's curious how you're lumping all console platforms together to show it's more than PC, yet when we have a multiplat comparison on N4G that needs pixel counters and extreme close-ups of pixelated grass in almost identical versions, it's supposedly a night and day difference. A console battle that spans 4 or 5 pages of angry comments follows every time.

[GribbleGrunger]

@AKS: What make of PC are you referring to?

You can't include ALL PC manufacturers and then complain that someone is using 2 console manufacturers to prove you wrong.

I haven't got a clue why you've gone off at a tangent with the rest of your post though. The argument is whether Battlefield is PC centric or console centric. Quite clearly, no matter how acrobatic with logic you are, it's more popular on consoles.

[GDDR6_2014]

If you combine the 4 consoles together they have double the player count as PC! PC gaming is dead

[BattleTorn]

Playstation* 90,754
PC 75,561
Xbox* 61,823

Fix'd

[aquamala]

Not Playstation* 137,384
Playstation* 90,754

More Gamers Prefer Not Playing BF4 on Sony's Consoles

but why are we combining incompatible platforms?

[ThatCanadianGuy514]

^

It's actually incredibly simple to understand, but for some reason, it's hard for you.I wonder why.

When your status says ""PC mustard race, consoles can't ketchup""
I suppose that answers that.

[BattleTorn]

Not PC 152,577
PC 75,561

Fine. There.

More Gamers Prefer Not Playing Battlefield 4 on PC

[XisThatKid]

Because they wanted to give feul to the console war not the PC vs Console war if you not focused on PC games why bring it up?

[moodymofo]

http://bf4stats.com/

these numbers change all the time ,as of right now it showes ps3 with the most with 46,039
then 360 45,701
then pc 35,277
then ps4 33,454
then xbox1 24,221
ive seen the pc version as low as 8,000 before

[DeadlyFire]

All versions could be as low as zero considering they are using live stats. PC will always have the higher constant number over time as its the bigger demographic.

[badboy776]

Sad When you consider Microsoft Advertises Games like this & COD as Xbone Exclusives with Timed DLC on TV commercials.

[n4rc]

Wtf.. Do people have a choice?

If you have a ps3.. You play on ps3 etc.. Its nothing to do with the game..

And these numbers dont factor in downloads either.. Kind of pointless if you ask me

[brich233]

why is the headline not "More Gamers Prefer Battlefield 4 on Microsofts shit"?

the player count clearly shows that

Microsoft Windows 7/8 75,561
Microsoft XBOX360 39,612
Microsoft XBOXONE 22,211
Sony PLaystation 3 54,038
Sony PLaystation 4 36,716

[cjflora]

"Sony's consoles" = 90,754.

[ScorpianusNoir]

Why is it that when some are talking about a Ferrari and a Porsche, some clown always wants to bring up a Harley Davidson? Yes, they are all vehicles but it gets annoying and boring to have a niche vehicle constantly dragged into the conversation.

[ScorpianusNoir]

The Title does say Sony consoles so yes, both the PS3 and PS4 are counted together.

[FamilyGuy]

There's 88K Playstation gamers on in this statistic. That's 13k more than PC.

[extermin8or]

It's because he's specifically discussing that he finds it strange that the difference of ps3-360 players is pretty similar as ps4-xbox one players With about 20% more on each than their rival console. That's why.

[Mr_Butata]

Dude... You must be terrible at math!

Stay in school, please.

[Charybdis]

More Sony console owners are playing battlefield it seems (at least at the time of that screenshot). Would be interesting to see a graph of the number of players since the launch of battlefield.

Wonder if this is mainly due to a higher number of total sales on sony consoles or the lack of updates and problems with Microsoft consoles versions.

[Syntax-Error]

Well I know I prefer it cone 360 because of the community and controller

[TopDudeMan]

Ah, but you're forgetting this is a console war, not a PC war. They'll disregard PC figures if it means the sony fans can get a one up on the microsoft fans.

[_QQ_]

Because Console Fanboys love to spin facts because they are insecure, When ever PC does somthing better, console only fanboys always saying "but look at me"lol.
And whenever somthing good happens to PC(which is alot) Insecure Console fanboys try to downplay it By saying stupid things like "not my pc" or "pc is such a small market"

[andibandit]

Or the "but what would it look like on a 399$ pc".

[_QQ_]

Yeah but no hate, i like all systems, but the Insecure PC downplayers need to stop.

[DeadlyFire]

While this is true they are counting PS3/PS4 and X360/XB1 both as a single entity of the brands. Compared to PC. The PC market still holds on as the 2nd strongest, but likely this is just early numbers. The game could soar if the bugs get fixed.

[JodyCones]

Sony's "consoles", PS4+PS3.

[TBONEJF]

STOP POSTING FAKE A$$ numbers no web blog site have the accurate numbers except the company itself. plus i don't play BATTLEFIELD 4 game is same as the previous just like COD

[Neonridr]

Well the MS crowd seems to gravitate towards Call of Duty games more, so it doesn't surprise me that Battlefield has numbers skewed more towards Sony consoles.

[ZombieKiller]

I bet alot of PS owners would gravitate towards COD if COD didn't treat the PS family like the red headed stepchild that nobody loves.

Call Of Duty, just like Eminem, and just like Microsoft, seems to just be a brand name anymore.

[dericb11]

EA is being that way towards Sony too. Funny to see the numbers and see just how silly the Titanfall deal could end up back firing on EA.

[JeffGUNZ]

I think Titanfall will do well on Xbox. I think it's more about who developed it and not published it. Since Respawn was the true heart to COD4/infinity ward, I think a lot of people will gravitate to it as you can easily see the COD aspects and feel of the game in what we have seen so far.

[iamnsuperman]

To be fair this is a right now data (as it says currently online). There is a large amount of ayers unaccounted for (unless BF4 sold poorly which I doubt)

[Mkai28]

Indeed, the fact that battlefield 4 has sold the most on 360.

[Crossbones]

Exactly, so I don't know why they were showing the game on Xbox One all year long.

[gamertk421]

Xbox one has more retail launch games. Makes for more of a split per game. Simple, really.

[BKsecret]

Now that's just some simple bullshit, really.

[pyramidshead]

The full circle is complete as this sounds like an excuse from last gen ;). heh.

[andibandit]

Yeah tables are turned and now apparently the famed excuse "X game didnt sell well because Y gamers have too many game to choose from" is apparently b.s.........

[G20WLY]

Good effort, except PS4 has more FPS than XBone...

[lonewolfjedi]

it was the same for battlefield 3

[Kran]

It REALLY does not matter what platform people play it on as long as they have fun.

The slightest difference in graphics is complete bulls**t. It doesn't matter because people aren't going to be going: "OOOOH Look at that texture popping" cause the thing they'll be popping is heads -_-'

[frostypants]

Agreed, though there IS a huge difference between the PS3/360 and PS4/One/PC...the latter support 64 players.

[MidnytRain]

Texture pop-in is like a disease. Have you seen one of the latest Project Cars vids? It was disgusting.

Also, these numbers would be more meaningful if they averaged them over the course of a week instead of at one particular moment in time. I've seen the ps3 and 360 counts trade places.

[frostypants]

Try playing GTA V on the 360 if you want to see the worst texture pop-in possibly ever. When I'm on my fastest bike in that game, I've had the entire screen go texture-less for several seconds because the game engine can't load textures fast enough. It's like being transported to a VR game from 1994.

[OpieWinston]

Why does this even matter?

These numbers are bogus...

BF4 is the most broken game I've seen in a while in terms of mainstream. It's STILL broken on PC/X1 for me... Patches haven't fixed the CTD or the server issues.

If your servers are garbage...then no one plays the game. Ergo this is just another BS N4G post for N4G tards.

[Ricegum]

Just as I'm reading your comment I decided to give BF a go, and I got booted straight back to the PS4 menu haha. I don't even get annoyed anymore, it's quite funny.

[Ju]

Can't say that. Mine worked just fine...at least for a couple of hours so far. TDM, though.

[infectedaztec]

Works most of the time for me on the xb1 now

[Trekster_Gamer]

yes it's true, gamers choose to play a broken crappy unfinished game like Battlefield 4 on PlayStation Oh what news is this???

[Sevir]

It's just as broken on the XB1 and PC... Have a seat

[andibandit]

I think you missed the point completely

[JessiePinkmanYo]

I'd rather read an article on which platform Battlefield works on.

[windblowsagain]

I have it on PC atm.

Works sometimes, and not others.

Makes my hd going freaking mental.

Sweet when it works.

It should have sold alot more then it has.

I think after all the shit people have gone through with it, when it's finally sorted they should be handing out a map pack for free.

[Callediceman]

you mean the scope for the colt 1911 that i havnt even unlucked yet wasnt enough? /s

[Sci0n]

cod and bf4 sold more units on PS4 then X1. Cod ghost sold more units on PS4 then X1 bigpappy

[JonnyBigBoss]

What is the point of this article?

[Gamer666]

Yet another "fanboy" posing as a "journalist".

[Max-Zorin]

Like it matter. It's broken on all platforms.

[Belking]

We all know those numbers ae skewed. If you look at the sales of BF4 on all platforms you will see that xbox is the preferred console for bf4 and cod.

[Gamerita]

FAKE FAKE FAKE. don't believe numbers they always make them look better at the xbone's end.

[GarrusVakarian]

Lol, Belking ignoring facts yet again. More gamers prefer gaming on the PS4, get used to it. After all....it does have the superior version of BF4 on a cheaper console so not hard to believe this at all.

[Sevir]

PS4 had the Top software sales for November! Every PS4 multiplatform title outsold the Xbox One version... Just have a seat.

[Kingoftherodeo]

Guys guys stop this lets face it noone likes playing bf4 right now still
Broken. Least cod works more than i can say for bf

[cell989]

Yet the xbox people get the premium treatment :(

[Gamerita]

because almost twice more PS4's have been sold.

[Mac420]

Xbox gets the premuim treatment because they fork out the money. I play it on my 360 an plan to get it on PS4 in the near future. Majority of the FPS lovers I run into or know on XBL love COD an that's it. COD to me is the reason so many people even have a 360 , dam game should just be an exclusive for the MS console, fits in with the rest of the garbage they have thrown out since Bungie split from MS.

That's what irritates me the most is when DICE comes out an states they chose Xbox because of the cooperation with MS an the feedback of the community. Just come out an say MS gave us a chunk of cash simple as that. Don't say anything about the community, because it has the lowest numbers out of all platforms.

Remember when they released numbers that showed peak number of players for BF3.
PC: 2 Mill.
Ps3: 700,000
360: 400,000

Rememeber when DICE released those last year, made me wish I never sold my PS3 or I had taken the time to build a PC. But hey that's just me....

[Tatsuya]

Damn right, I'll be joining BF4 on PS4 this coming 20th as PS4 is being released in SEA!

Greatness Awaits indeed :)

[ATi_Elite]

I'm enjoying BF4 PC.

This is N4G they gotta have flaimbait articles are things just wouldn't be N4G-ish!

Enjoy BF4 no matter what platform.

[quaneylfc]

wow, such important news(!)

[Are_The_MaDNess]

they really screwed themselves over with no Q&A testing and such before the release.
havent played the game since the first week of launch, and i cant say im going back even after they patch it.

if they just bothered testing the game and checking for bugs instead of releasing way to early just because they want to fight Cod then they wouldnt be having such a huge problem. they should have waited. think if they released the game in December, it would be a hit prob.

in other news, Dota 2 have over 6.5 million players each month.
http://blog.dota2.com/2013/...

[mrnefarious]

So, Sony fans enjoy playing a rushed FPS - good for them. As far as games are concerned, it's obviously slim pickings for them.

[Rock_On_PS4]

Casual gamers prefer playing games like Battlefield and Call of Duty and other generic shooters. All Call of Duty and Battlefield games this generation look and play almost identical to Call of Duty 2 and Battlefield 2.

[mediate-this]

Casual gamers play bf4 and cod? I agree that cod has alot of casual gamers, but what do hardcore gamers play? I eould like to know what you consider hardcore then? Jrpg's? Lol

[mediate-this]

More people prefer playing bf4 more then killzone:shadow fall

[busytoad]

"The PlayStation 4’s lead of Battlefield 4 players over the Xbox One is a more easily digestible stat, seeing as how players might prefer a higher resolution and slightly better framerates and graphics on Sony’s flagship system".

Another reason i luv my ps4:)

[AC2020x]

Agreed!

[troylazlow]

it's still a broken game so who cares!

[Azzanation]

This is how stupid this article is. More people choose a MS platform more then any other.

Microsoft Systems

XBOX360 39,612
XBOXONE 22,211
WINDOWS 75,561

Total: 137,384

Sony Systems

PS3 54,038
PS4 36,716

Total: 90,754

There are 46.630 more people playing BF4 on a MS system, Yet people still try to make it out that MS are the losing side.

[meday354]

Whaaaat unbelievable how could this be whaaaat.

[kewlkat007]

Lol..pathetic

[noctis_lumia]

that will make EA think twice before making deal with ms

[BX81]

Wtf is this crap? I don't care much for numbers but this is just redic. They take the numbers from that time? Has journalism gotten so lazy they can't even do an average? What a waste.

[kryteris]

Makes me wonder if PS3 is ahead on consoles because of the $10 PS4 upgrade offer or the fact that they offer free multiplayer access.

[Gabenbrah]

And the PC version is the definitive version, IDGAF about the 900p 30 FPS version.

[sandman224]

I played both Xbox one and ps4 versions. Ps4 looks and feels better all day. It's also smoother. Ps4 all day

[idontcare]

yeah, what else is there to play

bs article

[PharaohX]

Stupid article and what is the point. Who freaking cares. Truth be told there are more interesting games on the Xbox One so that means a bigger slice of the pie are divided among other games. There goes your big advantage right down the drain. I for one am not really into shooters and prefer action adventure games. So I went with Ryse, DR3 and Call Of Duty.

[BobBelcher]

this article is kind of ridiculous.

If you smartasses here are sick of fanboy wars, then why do you guys even bother reading the comments?? is it not easy to just read the article and ignore the comments? these smartasses are just butthurt because their favored american console is being beaten by a japanese electronics company.

I gues worse game is, more players play it lol

If I would be really childish here I could say:

"Ohhh PS players support delivering buggy versions of games!!!!"

That would be just as ignorant as saying:

"Ohhh Xbox players support Microsoft and their online DRM (that is gone of course)!!!"

Stupid clickbait article if you ask me. Do people really feel good/more awesome after reading articles like this?

I think "more gamers prefer to play on Sony consoles" is a weird way of interpreting those stats, but interesting stats nonetheless.

The fanboyism in the title is horrible.

Could just have easily been; More gamers prefer playing Battlefield 4 on Microsoft's operating systems

I like playing on Xbox one better controller and ui.

Dumb Stats

Does everybody own a all the consoles and the PC? Only than you can tell if somebody prefer to play on Sony's console.

The PS4 controller is a more comfortable controller imo.

They didn't really prove anything. The difference in people playing the PS4 and XONE is most likely the fact that PS4 was released earlier and cheaper.

To be fair bf4 sold more on xbox 360 and xbox one but the game is not that good and thats why people are not playing just so happen more people on sony just like it and thats all. But more people on xbox would play it if it was good.

All those PCs run Windows, so Microsoft wins :P /s

[Harmy666]

More people prefer playing Battlefield 4 on Sony's consoles, or more have been sold on Sony's consoles… big difference

Maybe I am getting old but I chose to skip upgrading PC and just buy PS4 and console version of multiplatform games.
