Demand for PlayStation 4 is 3.3 times greater than Xbox One, says shopping site

As Christmas approaches, both Sony and Microsoft have positioned their next-gen consoles as must-have presents for the biggest gift-giving day of the year. In the battle for the hearts of consumers, however, Sony’s PlayStation 4 might have an early edge.

Demand and interest for PlayStation 4 is more than three times greater than that of the Xbox One, according to online-shopping portal BuyVia. The website helps consumers find stores and online retailers that have certain items in stock, and the company found that more of its users are currently using its site to look for the next-gen Sony console than Microsoft’s Xbox offering.
