Microsoft’s We Happy Few beat God of War to emerge as the most popular title out of E3. According to tracking company ListenFirst, Microsoft’s Xbox event won the most attention, as did the small independent game We Happy Few when it comes to new internet searches.
To establish a definitive ranking of “The Most Popular Games”, ListenFirst calculated the amount of organic searches each title generated. More searches means more popularity. “We Happy Few, an upcoming first-person thriller and surprise for the conference, stole first place due to its surreal and hallucinatory trailer that made fans desperate for more information”, ListenFirst emphasized.
There you have it. Microsoft’s event generated the most interested and so did an Xbox One game. There’s research to back this up rather than the spam posted on Facebook or Twitter. The reason Microsoft won was because of their phenomenal Xbox Scorpio reveal. That piece of hardware made them blast past the competition this year.
