PushSquare: PS5 Logo Attracts Double the Attention of Xbox Series X Reveal on Instagram

[Cactuar]

The reveal of the PlayStation 5 logo has attracted double the attention of the actual console reveal of the Xbox Series X.

From PushSquare,

At the time of writing, the official PlayStation Instagram account can boast of a whopping 4.2 million likes on its PS5 logo reveal while the Xbox Series X announcement trailer debuted at The Game Awards 2019 is sitting at 1.8 million views. A separate post made on the same day detailing the name and the box itself currently has just under 990,000 likes a month later. It is worth noting that PlayStation also has more than double the amount of followers Xbox does on Instagram, but this is clearly proof that the Sony fanbase is eager for further information.

If PlayStation can demand this much attention when it simply reveals a logo, imagine the scenes when it chooses to unveil the console itself.

The question is, how relevant is this information? Does it speak to Microsoft's surprise reveal at the Game Awards not being the show stopper they expected? A harbinger of things to come? Or is this just a case of the bigger brand getting the bigger numbers, and has no relevance on the generational reset?

Stuff like this matters wether you believe it does or not

Console warrior clicks at its finest.

For most people that rightfully didn't give a fuck to CES, the instagram logo was THE reveal

For most people they saw the xbox series x at the game awards so the instagram post was whatever

Double the followers receives double the engagement?

The PlayStation account has more followers so obviously it'll get more likes. One social media platform isn't enough to gauge anything.

It's on Microsoft to deliver after this gen. Twice the attention while having twice the install base doesn't sound unreasonable.

Only thing better than two companies comparing the size of their dicks is journalists doing it for them

100 million plus ps4's most of them probably thirsty like me and my friends.

As silly as this seams, it's a good way to gauge interest. This doesn't look good for the Xbox folks.

I'm pretty sure more people follow Playstation on IG than Xbox.

My favorite part of the article is when the author points out that Sony has more than double the social media following but then immediately hand waves that point and says "this is proof that Sony's fan base is eager for more info".

Or in other words: a stroke of genius by Sony.

Wow! Fascinating.
