PS5 the Big Favorite Over XSX in Recent UK Survey, Overall Next-Gen Interest Very High

The PS5 and Xbox Series X are set to launch this twelvemonth, only are gamers actually set up for adjacent-gen consoles? According to a new survey conducted by UK popular culture marketing agency Experience 12, the answer is a big old "yes." The survey nerveless data from 3000 fans through MCM Comic Con online channels – 80 percent of the respondents were in the prime 18-to-34-year-old category, 58 percent were male, while 41 percent were female, non-binary, or non-conforming. Overall, a whopping 84 percent said they planned to buy a new console within 6 months of launch (37 percent said right at launch, 9 percent within a month, 12 per centum within three months, and 26 per centum inside six months).

And so, which next-gen console were the respondents most interested in? Well, Sony might be in for a large windfall in the UK, equally 84 percent were more than interested in the PS5, compared to 15 percentage who were well-nigh anticipating the Xbox Series X. Many of those surveyed were already PlayStation partisans, with PS4 being the preferred platform of 59 percent of respondents, followed past the Xbox I (16 per centum), PC (fourteen percent), and Switch (8 percentage). As for the most predictable software releases, Cyberpunk 2077 was #i, followed by Curiosity's Avengers, Tony Hawk'southward Pro Skater ane and two, Dying Light 2, and Halo Infinite.

Of course, this is just a unmarried survey examining one specific nerdy subset of people. The general UK public's opinion might exist a bit different, but, overall, I'k guessing the results would be roughly like. PS5 on top with the Xbox Series 10 abaft somewhat behind.

I know I really don't need to inquire around these parts, but what next-gen panel are y'all most anticipating at the moment? Is at that place anything either Sony or Microsoft could exercise to entice your over to the other side?
