The Sony tilt on GAF is very interesting to me.
I've seen a handful of polls on tech oriented sites (TechPowerUp, Anand tech, Extremetech, etc) with far more responses (in the thousands per poll) which seem to indicate this coming console generation is going to be a 50/50 split. In these other polls I've seen so far, there seems to be a slight preference for the XseX by about 50.5% vs PS5 at 49.5%.
Of course, even larger polls should be taken with a grain of salt. And polls on GAF with such a low sample size have almost no statistical relevance at all. But the polls on here ARE interesting at least from the standpoint that there seem to be a lot more Sony centric users here vs Xbox users.
Or you think that there is tilt when there isnt? (maybe you dont like the idea that ps5 is much more popular and this is your reasoning, dunno)
More logical reasoning would be that on sites you mentioned, most users are from US which is the main zone for xbox(+UK) as in only or one of few areas where xbox and playstation are equally popular.
Maybe on gaf there are more international users?
Because playstation is much more popular on global scale.
So this would be one reason why it is not 50/50 here and it is 50/50 on few places.
on european polls I have seen ps5 at 70-80% vs 20-30% xsex
So, unless there is data of nationalities of participants, it is hard to know if numbers represent "xbox biased US" or "global numbers"
Global numbers matter the most, no point to watch numbers from some random country which could have 90% popularity for one system.
My answer is of course PS5, xbox isnt popular here, 100% of my friends whom own consoles, own playstation.
