I thought it would be fun to track which celebrities are picking sides with the current consoles. I'll update the OP if you can find any. I know some people are on the pay roll for companies which makes it a little less genuine but whatever this is just for fun. Please try not to bitch too much about who is or is not a real celebrity. Does this type of thing really matter any more to average person any more?

PlayStation 4
Prince William
Stephen Colbert
Chloë Grace Moretz

Wii U

Xbox One
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Darren Bent
Aisha Tyler

President Obama compared Playstation 4 to the American version of the NHS, does that count?

Stephen Colbert: Daddy Loves You, PlayStation 4!

Other then that not that I have seen but I miss a lot on TV.

Barack Obama mentioned the PS4 in a positive way in some speech. Also Stephen Colbert did the whole "daddy loves you PS4"

I also know that Indiana Pacers player Roy Hibbert talked on Twitter how hyped he was for the PS4.

There were a few tweets from footballers in England which were pretty blatant adverts for the Xbox One

Michael Phelps got a ps4. Posted on Facebook. Zedd got custom ps4 as well as Jeremy Lin. In twitter

Jason Sudekis and Will Arnett appear to be supportive of Xbox. I think. I could not tell from how any of them talked.

Sony got an Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal Footballer) a PS4 a week ago and he tweeted about it.

https://twitter.com/aaronramsey

His tweet on the 18th showing the system went out to nearly 900,000 followers and got 1000 retweets.

Yesterday he was at the PS4 Lounge playing people at Fifa 14 and even used the #4ThePlayers hashtag in his tweet about it.

Interesting they all use "Xbox One" and the same hashtag.

Haha.

Any more tweets like this one instead of those that felt more like an advertisements for the console?

Lots of premiership footballers been endorsing the xbox one and have also seen Mark Hoppus of blink-182 and Jonathan Ross the chat show guy tweet about it here in the UK.

Wait, so paid endorsements count?

SLJ and those footballers are blatantly paid off.

Akainu · Nov 22, 2013

Is any of it even real excitement or just paid celebs?

Seems like they are all praising xbox one for multiplatform titles.

heh

It's funny Jonathon Ross is on the pay roll for MS TV but he still made time to go to the PS4 event in London.

Akainu said:

Some of it's genuine! Robin Williams for instance is a massive gamer. He said he's mostly interested in the Xbone but hasn't checked out the others yet in a Reddit AMA. Guy named his child Zelda..

Mostly it's going to be paid for both.

It isn't really surprising. This companies use athletes to promote their products all the time. They get the product for free and then tweet positive stuff about it.

About the launch event though, he hasn't said anything about the product itself per say.
