A new report in which consumers were surveyed on their next-gen console purchase intent has revealed the possibility that PlayStation 4 sales have the potential be "nearly 50 percent higher than Xbox One," GameZone reports. 

Results from Strategy Analytics' latest survey indicate that 14.2 percent of consumers are "very or somewhat likely to buy a PS4 within the next twelve months." Comparitvely, just 9.5 percent will buy an Xbox One, GameZone also reports. 

"Our survey suggests that consumers believe the PS4 will win the early phase of the next generation console war," said Jia Wu, Director or Connected Home Devices, according to the survey.

"Sony's performance at E3 was widely accepted as superior to Microsoft's, and the survey evidence suggests this has already fed through to the wider consumer market."

This isn't the only poll suggesting the Playstation 4 might have a more successful release. 

Over 300 European games industry members were asked for their views by the Game Developers Conference on the next generation of consoles and 13 percent of respondents said they were working on PlayStation 4 games, compared with percent working for Xbox One and 5 percent for Wii U, IGN reports.

The poll also measured the future intentions of the European developers as well; 23 percent of those asked were planning to create a PS4 title next, while 14 percent were eyeing up the Xbox One and 7 percent the Wii U, IGN also reports.
