Study Reveals Why Gamers Prefer PS4 Over Xbox One and Wii U

PlayStation 4 is outpacing both Xbox One and Wii U by quite a fair margin. Curious as to why that truly is the case? Well, the folks over at Nielsen conducted a study to find out.

Meanwhile, brand loyalty was the main factor in the purchasing decision of most Xbox One owners. Surprising no one, I'm sure, the top reasons for purchasing a Wii U were its "fun-factor" and appeal to children.
