Based on searches on Google, Microsoft?s next-generation game console will probably be more popular than Sony?s.
Neither company has talked officially about their plans for new consoles, which the industry has nicknamed the Xbox 720 and the PlayStation 4. But a story in online game news site Ludos Mundi predicts that Microsoft?s Xbox 720 will win based on the searching that users are already doing for the new consoles.
In the past 11 months, searches for information on the new Xbox have far exceeded search for the PS 4 or PlayStation 4, according to Google Trends. On a worldwide basis, people search for Xbox 720 about 60 percent of the time, compared to 40 percent for the PS 4. In the U.S., about 66 percent of the searches are for the Xbox 720, and 34 percent for Sony?s future machine.
Google Trends accurately predicted the winner of the next-generation DVD format, showing that results favored Blu-ray movies over HD-DVD movies. The graph at right shows that the Xbox 720 is becoming more popular over time. To search for yourself, go to Google Trends and compare Xbox 720 and PS 4 using the ?forecast? feature.
If I were Sony, I would hire an army of users to search on the PS 4 or PlayStation 4.
