GameSpot’s Battle of Next Gen updated with votes – PS4 support is overwhelming

GameSpot’s neat next-gen twitter war site has until now been lacking one rather important feature. The actual number of supporters for each console. As you can see on the world map below the PS4 has taken an overwhelming lead over Xbox One so far. PS4 is ahead with 89% and over 16,563 votes compared to Xbox One with 11% and 2,151 votes. Worth noting is the surprisingly low support for the Xbox One even in the United States.

You can tweet your allegiance with the #GameSpotPS4 or #GameSpotXbox hashtags and join the silly fun!

      It just shows how dumb the internet PauperStation community is. It was announced way before the conference that the games would be at E3 and this was going to be about the new features of the console.

  2. SONY says:

    <<>>.

    No surprise, we have the best wizards in the industry.
    We won’t let you down, more megatons are coming at E3

    To minimize racism and be more ‘western’ look & feel, Mr. Cerny will be there to announce more details on how powerful and easy the PlayStation® 4 has become. More genuine smiles too, no more meth-face appearance, we promise. We’re 4x better than ever, plus 50% more happy endings!

    Incredible Asian tech for life, greatness awaits.

    4>1

    • Ray says:

      Please continue, you are the beacon of light that exposes $0ny for the filthy bunch of hypocrites that they are and the dumb paupers that follow them are just the lemmings jumping off a cliff.

      Ray, I think you’re too attached to your beloved Microsoft. “Pauperstation” what are you? like 12?

  3. Barrayar says:

    With such a big superior of PS4, how Xb1 could be the most preordered console? Another lie and rotten PR from Microsoft? Defenitely this is a reason!

    but this poll is mostly from core gamers and we all know the real money is with the casual and most of them probably don’t even know this poll exists.

    • Darrius says:

      But the core gamers are the ones who buy consoles in the first year or two. If they choose the PS4 over the Xbone at the current rates then after the first year of sales the install bases will be close to 9 million PS4 vs. 1 million Xbone’s. Numbers that lop-side will affect developer support. If they stay that lop-sided then we will start to see 3rd party exclusives on again on PS4.

    • Ray says:

      Exactly, the vocal 10-20%. It won’t matter as the Xbox One will outsell the PS4 many times because of contracts with TV providers.

    • Ray says:

      The Wii proved you wrong Darrius, completely wrong.

  5. YP says:

    SORRY but those people are vocal minority, they dont matter 99% of gamers dont go to websites
    XBOX will sell like crazy

    • Ray says:

      It will and through the contracts with TV providers it will destroy PS4’s already strongly diminished market share. It’s over for Sony.

  6. jay says:

    I understand the poll, but it is irrelevant, on a universe of 100 million gamers 18,000 took a poll and PS4 wins, was this poll promoted on a webpage with more PS4 supporters such as playstationmagazine.com maybe.

    I will buy both consoles but most probably only the XB1 at lunch, all the games from sony are coming also to the PS3 or at least that is how it looks today.

    • Ray says:

      Exactly, it just shows that the PS fanboy community is very vocal while they follow Sony off a cliff to their doom.

  7. Pob says:

    I am going to get the xbox.I know that the ps4 is more powerful and that Sony have more first party content and are more vocal with smaller developers this time round but the fact is that MS are a nice company and the support for the 3 year old demographic is unsurpassed! They look after me and are intersted in more than just my money. When the camera addon came out, my kids loved it an it was great that they put so mich effort into making stuff for them instead of all that gun shooting stuff. I can see that other 3 year olds agree from the comments above.

    Seriously, psone beat all competitors. Ps2 beat all competitors. Ps3 beat the 360, even though it came out a year later and was HIDEOUSLY Expensive! With the always online, used game fees, and stupid camera (which will make it more xpensive than ps4), how the hell does any1 expect micro$oft to win this time?
    Ppl already have cable boxes. They will not spend $400 on another one!
    Casual gamers have iPhones and Ipads and similar products. They dont need an x box 1.
    Update on this thread plz? After e3, votes will swarm into this poll and we’ll know who will win.

    • Who Cares says:

      @Bob – PSone beat what competitors??? It, like the PS2 were the ONLY players in town that had ANY titles worth gravitating to (exclusives when there actually were exclusives of non-self published titles) plus the transition from VHS to DVD greatly helped them to dominate as, to an extent, Blu-Ray even though they are only a member of the Blu-Ray conglomerate. PS3 didn’t beat the 360 and launch window means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Obviously the always on is no more (hell you can say the same thing about the PS4 being always online), there aren’t any used game fees, and the camera is purely personal preference. If you don’t like it, don’t get it. Fact of the matter is, the 11th hour at E3 Sony was actually going to launch the PS4 with your “stupid camera” and at a $499 price point as well. Luckily for them, they took a gamble and it paid off.

      People need to remember it doesn’t f*&%$ing matter who “wins”, no company wins, just forces each to make their product better (“borrowing ideas, concepts, layouts, etc… (Sony Marketplace sure does look a hell of a lot like Microsoft’s which I think is a GOOD thing) so the CONSUMER actually wins. I wish everyone would just buy what interests them and be done with it instead of voicing all this fanboy trash talking. I may not end up with either when all the dust settles to be honest.

      The first time I actually take ANY public opinion poll seriously will be a cold day in hell.
