Xbox gamers "better" than PS4 and PC according to LG's "completely scientific new research"

I just took the test on my phone.
First attempt got 94 reaction score and top 12% of gamers.


Breakdown of score showed 86% accuracy but only hit 2 green targets, 44 amber targets and 0 red targets with 8 targets missed.

I'm 33 years old and pretty rubbish at games so I don't really buy this.

I also took the test while laying on my back in bed after a big fat juicy wank and huge (for me anyway) load sprayed over my chest. Probably not optimum conditions.

Lmao, tried it for a laugh and it says 108 score top 1% of players.

I grew up consoles and have been primarily PC since 2010.

They're comparing scores on PC with scores on a mobile phone.

This thing is dumb. Also got 105 on my first try.

They were all using the mouse to do the test and also it just asks you to select your "preference" so no telling how accurate that was.

I just did it and got much higher scores than the averages.

It doesn't corelate at all though, Xbox players wouldn't be better at using a mouse to aim than PC gamers.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
I don’t know if this means anything but Xbox With 79.7 and PlayStation gamers with 71.9 is much closer than I expected.

Suck it SonyGAF. I always knew Xbox gamers had higher intelligence and better reflexes.

Also smaller testicles (from all the Mountain Dew).

As far as consoles go, I don't doubt that xbox has better skilled players. It was home of COD players since MP became relevant in the series. Xbox also has the best 1st party competitive MP shooters in Gears and Halo.
Fanboi detected, with ur opinion skill player only count if they play FPS? How about Tekken, DoA, Smash ect....?

And skill does not only count for competitive scene, ur opinion is pure shit.

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting the sense that Microsoft has been telling media outlets to write shill articles pimping their brand?

There seems to be a lot of shill PR pieces for Xbox lately. Like they're getting their ass kicked so hard they're desperate to put a positive spin on the situation.

Or...Maybe MS isn't the devil that mama proclaims and has been making great decisions since the large shift in Management and support.

But conspiracy, right?

100% they have

The amount of "Microsoft poised to take next-gen" articles with literally no concrete information makes it painfully obvious.

"Microsoft losing this console generation is the best thing to happen to gaming," etc.

No, a console maker completely giving up on producing quality first party content for their millions of customers is not a good thing for gaming.

It's laughably obvious, but gamers these days are so goddamn dense of course they're going to do it and get away with it.

Yet, MS has invested heavily in new studios the past year so your statement is disingenuous at best, but most likely an outright lie.

I'm a PS gamers but 10/10 when it comes to shooter PC gamer with Ms/kb will destroy any console gamers with a controller in a multiplayer game this is no contest

I don't do the fanboy garbage. I own and support everything.

I know shilling when I see it though. And it's clear what they're attempting to do.

As for investing in developers for the future. Fuck yeah, I hope they make the best goddamn games we've ever seen. But that doesn't magically turn them bungling an entire generation into the best thing to happen in gaming.

The Xbox fanbase isn't half as annoying as the Playstation fanbase, I'll give them that. And yes, I say that having experienced what the Xbox Live Experience is like. Apparently, many teenagers know my mom in some capacity, half of Germany knows where I'm living and the rest of Europe is convinced that I'm a Nazi.

Not too bad, never underestimate the reaction time of a Playstationer

I think it has to do with the younger user base having faster reaction times
Makes sense they lack skill, since all PS4 players do is walk slow while listening to characters chat and hide inside grass on their cinematic games.

As a PS4 games fan this made me chuckle.

I’d bet that something like 80% of gaming articles are just press releases disguised as articles. The other 20% are clickbait with inflammatory and/or highly-exaggerated headlines, often with some social justice/culture wars spin to really get those page hits going.
 
Xbox gamers are more skilled, eh? Perhaps with shooters, but they probably didn’t test their skills in fighting games though. :p

People who support that statement of his and Dirthead are more likely to actually own an Xbox device at home.

Source: NPC poster with 0% credibility. But atleast that holds more value than a statement by D-Head.

So how is this scientific, how do they know if you're on XBOX, PC or PS4 for sure, anybody can put what they want. Maybe more Xbox fans played......

Best way to test these things is to see who has the best times in the modern warfare shooting test, who has the highest scores in Bayonetta and what percentage of persons have completed the street fighter trials or survival or challenges in select games....

That would be interesting and fun to watch actually, get the best 10 persons from cod or other games from each platform and have them compete against one another to see which platform comes on top. Perhaps I should organize such an event, for multiple games, it sounds like it could pull a crowd or good viewership......:messenger_halo:

Be sure to give it a ridiculous title like “Xbox gamers are better than PlayStation gamers”, then idiots all over the web will shower you with attention and clicks.

As far as consoles go, I don't doubt that xbox has better skilled players. It was home of COD players since MP became relevant in the series. Xbox also has the best 1st party competitive MP shooters in Gears and Halo.

The fact that you bring up shooters as a benchmark for a skill set, leads me to believe you don't know much about the competitive scene.

Fighters are arguable one of the most difficult fighting genres to learn because of the steep learning curve and those TPS and FPS don't even come close. CS:GO is one of the most difficult shooters to learn, and it doesn't even come close to fighters.

Guilty Gear Xrd, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, King of Fighters 14, Soul Calibur V and Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mortal Kombat X (Soon to be 11), Injustice 2.

Overall, the best fighters will generally play on the PS4 if they had to choose between consoles.

Now you have shooters. I've seen you before about how Gears is the best competitive 1st party shooters. If you haven't played others, then I suggest you try the others.

Call of Duty is more a casual shooter and it's easier to learn than the likes of Rainbow Six Siege.


Above shooters are sports, which includes games such as NBA 2K, Madden NFL.

Lol I don’t know why anyone would give this article any clicks to began with, and it’s even more hilarious that some posters here think the article was made because of Microsoft wanted it made.

On reality, my guess is that since Playstation have more casuals overall, that affects the metric.

Edit:
On a second thought, maybe this is proof that Xbox Controller is better for FPS at least.
I blame Halo:CE and Halo 2 (basically multiplayer). Xbox players have always been about the FPS.

Guess I need to watch more netflix... that must be the key because it's all I ever hear and see xbox owners doing.
