PlayStation Preferred Over Xbox for Porn Viewing

2015 Year in Review - Pornhub - PlayStation As taboo as the subject line might appear, porn has always played a crucial role in technology. Betamax famously took a huge hit when Sony didn’t allow porn to arrive on their format which would eventually lose to VHS. Years later in the format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD, both sides were quick to allow porn though Blu-ray with its larger discs had the upper hand and eventually won out.

This isn’t to say that porn has been the single catalyst for helping drive a format to victory, but that it does play a prominent roleĀ despite it not being talked about in public forums much. This next bit of news isn’t something you should expect Sony CEO Kaz Hirai to bring up as a slide during his next keynote – but nonetheless, it’s an important indicator that consumers are truly shifting away from Xbox and towards PlayStation.

More after the jump, including a fancy chart.
