Twitter: The Console War Is A Sad Stalemate

Further proof the “console war” is currently a tepid pillowfight.


The ongoing "console war" between Xbox One and Playstation 4 is so far a pillow fight between two presently toothless expensive products with no worthwhile original software. Despite alternate pre-release predictions of dominance for one (a multimedia extravaganza!) or the other (the true gamer's device!), and despite a current lead in total sales for PS4, the two boxes are for now "locked" in a struggle that is basically theoretical, neither possessing a single game to take a meaningful advantage.


Need proof? How about this graph measuring share of Twitter mentions between the two consoles from shortly before the Christmas rush until yesterday:

Built by the digital agency Fractl, this graph reflects data from Twitter's API and reveals a public that can't really decide on which console to talk about about, especially post-Christmas. Some days: Xbox! Some days: Playstation! Neither device has generated nearly enough enthusiasm nor controversy to dominate online conversation.


Here's the hourly breakdown, which you can zoom in on:
