TopRatedCasinos.co.uk found that the PlayStation 4 is the most popular console on social media, with a perfect score on Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit  (25/25), and 23/25 on YouTube totalling up to 98/100 overall. Released in November 2013,  the PS4 is the fourth best-selling console of all time with 116 million sales as of July 2021 according to Statista.

The Xbox One follows in second place with 88/100. The console scored a near-perfect 24/25 on Instagram, and 23/25 on TikTok and Reddit, but was let down by a lower score on YouTube (19/25). Released at roughly the same time as the PS4 in November 2013, the Xbox One  has sold less than half the amount of consoles as its competitor at just over 50 million according to Digital Trends.

In third is the PlayStation 5 with a score of 76/100, let down by its Reddit score of 10/25, despite strong scores on TikTok and YouTube (24/25). Despite not having nearly as much time as the top two to make an impact (released in November 2020), the console has been in red hot demand since its release date, and would have sold many more than the current amount of 20 million units if not for a global shortage of the components to manufacture them, according to GamesIndustry.biz.
