PS4 Vs. Xbox One Poll: Only 20 Percent Of Gamers Prefer Xbox One? Almost 80 Percent Of Gamers Would Still Buy PS4 If It Cost $500, Polar Study Shows

Almost 80 Percent of gamers would still buy the PS4 if it cost $500, a poll conducted by Polar reports, leaving just over 20 percent of gamers who prefer the Xbox One.

The PS4 is expected to cost $399 while the Xbox One is valued at $499.

But Polar isn't the only website where gamers have sounded off about their next-generation console preferences.

Amazon released a customer survey poll on Facebook asking which next-generation console people would prefer and 94.7 percent of the voters said they would rather purchase Sony's PS4.

The online retail giant released the survey on June 13 but eventually pulled the survey down after receiving complaints and claims of inaccuracy from Microsoft enthusiasts.

The poll information comes days after Microsoft's product planning manager Albert Penello said that price and spec comparisons of the PS4 and Xbox One and "meaningless" and that ultimately "great games are what matters."

The Microsoft official responded to an article published by OXM that made a comparison of the PS4 and the Xbox One based on specs and other technical merits, defending his console's video game fan base from criticisms sparked by PS4 advocates.

 "I heard this exact same argument last generation and it's a pointless argument, because people are debating things which they don't know about," Penello said, according to OXM.

"They're not [head silicon engineer] Nick Baker or [corporate vice president of IEB hardware Todd Holmdahl], and I'm not [lead PS4 architect] Mark Cerny, so why are we having this discussion?"
