Currys and PCWorld predict Xbox One ‘top xmas gift’

Carl Muller July 12, 2013 Channel, Console, General Tech

All our polls show the opposite, but PC World and Currys are predicting that the Microsoft Xbox One will be the UK's best selling tech gift at Christmas this year.

DSG, the parent group of both PC World and Currys were accurate with their predictions last year. They said that the iPad Mini would prove to be one of the top five sellers and the larger iPad the best seller overall. They were right.
PS4 vs Xbox One composite

Currys and PC World say this year that the Playstation 4 will get the second spot behind the Xbox One. It will be interesting to see how it pans out, especially as the Xbox One has received a lukewarm reception so far, and the price will be higher than the Playstation 4 on launch day. Part of this cost will be for the Kinect unit, however it still factors into the price to the consumer.

We asked readers on our Facebook page which they prefered and over 90 percent said the Playstation 4 suited their needs better. Obviously Kitguru has a very strong PC user base, so there will be an audience who have no interest in either console, but many PC gamers like a console close to the television as a supplement for their gaming needs.

The iPad Mini is third on the Currys and PCWorld best seller prediction list.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
