Sony’s mantra with the PlayStation 4 is “the best place to play”, and true to its word, new Pornhub data shows that fans have been extra busy jiggling their joysticks in 2017. PlayStation systems accounted for a whopping 56 per cent of the popular site’s games console traffic last year, meaning you should probably think twice before touching your pal’s DualShock 4 in the future.
This share is up six per cent year year-over-year, while the Xbox actually accounted for seven per cent less, increasing the Japanese giant’s dominance in the only metric that matters. Bizarrely, the PS Vita still represents a reasonable five per cent of the overall traffic share, proving definitively that people prefer to play under the sheets.
Earnest as ever, Pornhub pledged its commitment to game consoles: “Pornhub’s development team works tirelessly to make sure that users can enjoy their experience on a wide variety of devices, and that includes visiting Pornhub on game consoles,” it said. “What could be better than taking a break from playing games to play with yourself? And you don’t even have to leave your seat.”
Overwatch dominated the video game character searches list, with D. Va taking top honours. In the top twenty? Pikachu. Make of that what you will.

56% is absolutely mental.
Also the guy in the picture must really like crystal controllers. Look at his face!
I'm sure the are more PC wnkers though
Of course it, as it will be full of underage lads looking at porn as parents are generally clueless on how and why to safeguard the internet access in their home.
All lads will have done that if heir consoles had that kind of access. Difference is that today’s smut is waaaaaaaaaay beyond what was available in early days of internet and even more so with pre internet. The type of content that kids can access through their console is beyond alarming and is seriously damaging to their view of women and relationships as a whole.
If you buy a console for your kids? Do not hand it over to them until YOU have set up the parental controls on it.
'data shows that fans have been extra busy jiggling their joysticks in 2017'
Lmao I died.
@KingSandyRavage Thats a big assumption although you are correct about parental settings. Both men and women watch porn. I actually dumped a girl because thats all she wanted to do in her spare time and I wanted to crack on with Disgaea 2.
@themcnoisy not really an assumption though is it. Unrestricted access to any porn at all at the whim of a 12-17 year old boy????? That is a 99.9% chance if that happening.
As for dumping a girl for watching porn??? Because you wanted to play a video game??????...... Jesus.
What boggles my mind is according to this poll there is people watching porn on the Wii U.
@Tasuki At least you can hook up the Wii U to a monitor. Why are people watching porn on a 240p 3DS screen?
@KingSandyRavage Can you really stop kids from getting on this kind of material at this point? It's so easily available that, frankly, they're going to find it regardless.
I'm no parent, but I'd imagine that education is more important at this stage, rather than trying to block it out. What do I know, though?
@Tasuki well the second screen is really handy and yo.........i mean YEAH who would use a Wii U for this kind of thing 😏
@KingSandyRavage Sorry mate seem to have touched a nerve there. I was predominantly replying to this
"as it will be full of underage lads looking at porn as parents are generally clueless on how and why to safeguard the internet access in their home."
I think parents are more and more savvy with internet settings and the porn is viewed by all generations after puberty not just youngsters.
A genuine question. Isn't there a chance of getting a virus from those sites?
There are certainly a lot of people playing Russian Roulette with their details.
@john_c On a PlayStation? Not really.
@john_c Chlamydia
@YouSeemFRAZZLED You seem frazzled.
@get2sammyb I agree Sammy. Almost every kid has their own smartphone/tablet nowadays heck I see 4 year olds in the grocery stores with their own tablet they even make them for kids now.
Point is by the time kids get curious about the birds and the bees I am sure they have already accessed it on those devices without parents knowledge.
@get2sammyb you’ll know more when you have kids. Yes you can restrict everything, in the house.
Having 24 hours access through a console secreted in a kids bedroom is infinitely more damaging than watching something on a mates phone at school. All tech that kids own is bought by parents. If they hand it over without taking proper precautions then the parents are to blame.
Best format for this is the Switch. Absolutely awesome control, kids miss out on nothing relevant to them, I know what the machine is being used for at all times without being invasive to their gaming experience and I can remotely tailor the restrictions as they get older. Equally if I just handed it over, it would be as open as a PS4/Xbox.
The onus is totally on the parents. Giving a teenage lad unrestricted access to porn and then being shocked that they use it is like letting a monkey live on your house and then getting angry when it throws its turd up the walls.
Educating kids about sex and adult content is one thing, but giving them unrestricted and unmonitored access to all the porn in the world and leaving them alone with it is just dangerous.
@KingSandyRavage What a great advertising pitch for the Switch. Do you want your kids to play games or watch porn? If it's games you want without the porn by a Switch!!!
@themcnoisy “amazing. Every word of what you just said is wrong.”
The LEAST convenient web browser in existence is the games console. An adult, somebody old enough to own their own smartphone/tablet/PC/Laptop will use the web browser on a games console close to never.
On the other hand, a games console in a teenagers bedroom, yet to gain electronic independence, will use it 10/10 to slyly watch porn late at night... Mum comes in!? Home button!!!! BOOM!!! I was just playing Crash Bandicoot Merm!!! Haha.
Also not sure what nerve you think you’ve touched, I’m emotionally sound. If you’re on about your ex however, that was a just a side note of utter astonishment at your decision over the particular situation.
@Tasuki tablets and phones bought by their parents which should equally be restricted when they are young.
@Tasuki they should use that!!
Nintendo Switch
PLAY!! Anytime, anywhere with anyone.
W*NK!!! on PS4– For the Players (of selves)
@KingSandyRavage You what I find ironic. You say that porn could damage kids views of woman, yet your avatar clearly shows a man hitting a woman.... Porn is bad but violence against woman is ok I am guessing?
@Tasuki that isn’t even close to irony you poor poor child. Also a complete mis-observation.
@KingSandyRavage Heres some advice - You can set control settings in your router so no adult content gets broadcast if your worried.
As for my ex I just didnt measure up.
@KingSandyRavage Misobservation yeah ok. I just find it hard to take you seriously with that avatar on the subject of hurting woman's views.
@themcnoisy I’m good for advice on technology thanks. At no point have I said I’m worried about my house, I’m talking about the millions of consoles in most houses where kids are watching porn because over the years in my experience where parents just don’t care.
I worked in Game when Vice City launches on PS2.
Middle aged woman approaches the counter “can I buy this please”
I look at her and think, “you don’t look like the person with an interest of Tommy Vercetti’s adventures” “could I ask who you’re buying this for please?”
Woman - “my son wants it for his birthday”
Me - “how old is he?”
Woman - “12”
Me - “are you aware of the violence, running people over and such in this game?”
Woman - “yeah, it’s fine, his mates play it”
Me - “are you also aware that you can pick up a prostitute in the car, have her in the car, pay her, let her out, murder her and then take your money back!”
Woman - “REALLY!!?”
Me - “Yes”
She pauses for a few seconds....
Woman - “it’ll be fine, I’ll take it please”
@Tasuki the avatar is mocking the situation in the avatar. On my profile beneath the avatar is a line making fun of batman doing what he is doing.
Hence.
Mis observation on your part.
Anyone with a half decent router and some common sense can block porn sites. If your kid is watching porn whilst at home, you've no-one to blame but yourself.
@KingSandyRavage I understand your point, totally correct to monitor minors usage especially if its damaging, demeaning or unsuitable. Of course thats the right thing to do.
I disagree that the people viewing porn are all underage lads. They are certainly not.
As for parents buying adult rated content for minors, then thats wrong. Its been going on since the dawn of time. Sammys correct education is the best option.
Funnily you mentioned working in Game, they are not in my good books at the moment.
Well duh. The dualshock 4 is way easier to use with one hand.
Ok guys who here did it! Raise hands
@KingSandyRavage Wow if an employee at a store talked to me that way I would have reached over the counter and slapped the stuffing out of you. Under what authority is it yours as to why a person buys a game? And to say she doesn't look like a person who would by the game? If I talked that way to a customer I would be fired pretty quickly.
@DLB3 LOL
@themcnoisy it’s was 15 years ago I worked in game. Not sure I could hook you up with any help here.
Education is needed definitely bit of the parents; more so than the kids.
The web browsing on consoles is being done by kids 100% it is the slowest way to use the web. Any adult or owner of there own unrestricted smartphone will web browse on a smart device, not a phone.
Nevermind streaming on the TV.
Streaming on a console is being used by people who that is their only or mainly accessible point to the web - underage lads. There maybe minor percentages in other demographics but the VAST majority will Be teenage lads. Any argument against isnjust denial/cluelessness/mis-direction out of being a guilty party haha.
She's hot.
Name please?
@themcnoisy I am pretty sure it's not all underage people. Didn't some do a study at one point saying that most people who own PS are between 20 and 35???
@Tasuki it is statutory law to challenge potential customers when purchasing a BBFC 18 rated game if you suspect it was being purchased for a minor.
As for attempting to knock the stuffing out of me when I was 21? That would have give me the biggest laugh for my weekend that week 😂
@Tasuki yes. But those who bother to fuddle using the web browser will not be adults as it is the worst, slowest and most inconvenient web browser available. It would only being used for that purpose by people who had no better alternative.
You are viciously defending that “teenage boys don’t do that!!!!!” You must not be old enough yet.
Fact remains that unfortunately that the majority of PS4 users watching PornHub are teenage lads. Fact. You are kidding ourself or trying to kid others if you think otherwise.
@KingSandyRavage not guilty im afraid. I cant even play street fighter 5 over my router. True story Virgin medias adult settings also block sf5.
@Tasuki Its just Sandys opinion. Ive no doubt youngsters are contributing alot to the graph. But hes failed to grasp that there are a number of demographics apart from the sneaky teenage kid. Ie) singles , open couples, swingers, widows and widowers, voyeurs, perverts, pikachu fetishists etc etc. Pornhubs also bankrolled by people with credit cards. In this country you have to be over 18 for one of them.
@KingSandyRavage Did I ever say they don't do that, no I didn't but I am not saying they are the only ones who do like you are.
My friend actually used the browser on his PS4 to watch anime. Yes he can watch it on his phone, or tablet or even laptop but he wants to watch it on the big screen. Oh and he's 37. So yeah even though the browser is slow it might be the only option to watch it.
If my lady and I wanted to watch porn together I don't think she would appreciate having to try and view it on a small smartphone screen and we don't have a PC either.
People really suffer the PlayStation browser to watch porn? Don't they have computers or phones?
its a pretty flat stat. it may be that there are more adult ps4 owners than there are xbox owners so there could be a higher ratio of xbox owners watching porn compared to ps4 owners. also doesn't take into account multiple users on same account, like in a student house for example. or average individual time spent by users of each console. so there may be fewer xbox users but spending more time and more often.
@themcnoisy ??? They won’t use the PS4 web browser for that.
@Kai_ exactly
@ZurapiiYohane Good news: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2016/10/guide_how_to_watch_virtual_reality_porn_on_playstation_vr
@ZurapiiYohane yes you can. A company have even invented a 'massager' for your penis. Im surprised Sony havent made a copycat and shown it at last nights ces show.
Again im not condoning any of this or plan on buying one.
(Until the price comes down)
@Tasuki I said there will be minor numbers of instances of other demographics with some purpose for the web browser. But using a Console to watch streaming porn? The hugest slice of that pie chart is being chomped by teenage lads.
@KingSandyRavage why not?
Whats happens if they are on limited downloads or a phone runs like poop. As @tasuki mentions people want the full screen hit.
Tbf no one knows, you could be right. Only pornhub and sony hold that information. But right now its an opinion and I dont think your right. But you could be. But your not. :/
Wasn't me, lololololol.
This is really harmful (mentally) to everyone and especially the kids. Growing up porn was so difficult to find or watch, it was always hidden and blocked, and mostly considered only for pervs. Now it's so socially accepted, Sony and Nintendo need to take parental control more serious. I mean I know Nintendo does. I'm grateful I grew up in an era where my Super Nintendo or Gameboy didn't play spice channel. The new generation is desensitized more than any other, and it's only going to get worse.
@themcnoisy unfortunately for you, it is an easy observation to make. It is blatantly obvious that’s what and how it’s being used.
@themcnoisy Welcome to the internet where my opinion is fact cause I said it is.
I almost want to visit a porn site on my 3DS, just to see what it looks like in 240p! lol
@DLB3 What's her name?
Do you guys know Riley Reed? What a great actress, she is really passionate while acting.
Porn is art.
@PS_Nation According to the article, our girl Riley was the number one actress of 2017.
@Onion_Knight Maybe check what your kids do. Parents should not always shift the blame and do nothing.
Okay. I got distracted, because I 'accidentally' clicked the link in the article.
The searches that defined 2017:
1) Porn for women
2) Rick and Morty
3) Fidget Spinner
.
.
...wait what?!
Can you Access VR porn on porn hub using PSVR? If so then that might bloat the numbers towards playstation.
I would comment on this proper but my eyesight is failing and my hairy hands are making it hard to type.
You can really tell that Sammy loves writing these articles. He really goes to town with it.
@PS_Nation what do people see in Riley Reed, seriously? I'm glad people don't have the same tastes but come on...she looks dangerously underage even lol
@DLB3 Haha, I'm genuinely impressed you knew the girl in the image's name. That's some knowledge.
@themcnoisy I'm 38, married, 2 kids, own 2 PCs and a smartphone. You know what comes on when I have the house to myself ? My PS4 Pro, my 55 inch 4KTV and a highly impractical web browser.
That is a fact
@get2sammyb
Stop it, adults educating kids and teaching them how to behave right actually requires work, and we just can't have that. Frankly, from what I've seen, today's adults aren't capable of raising kids right anyway. Most marriages can't even last, they're going to lecture on how to treat eachother? So the easiest solution will continue to be what it has always been since politicians waged their war on video games going back to the days of Mortal Kombat. Blame games, movies and tv shows... As long as its something that doesn't hold the adults in kids' lives responsible.
@DLB3 my man, ty
@DLB3 Thanks bro! Bookmarked for future reference .
@AFCC I really don't think that she looks underage. She is a delicious vanilla cupcake.
@DLB3 Thanks a lot!
@get2sammyb She really deserves it, so talented. <3
@PS_Nation I like more t h i c c ness
@DLB3 I'm 24 xD she doesn't have any relevant atributes to be honest
@KingSandyRavage have you provided a link or any certified data to backup this claim that the "majority" of pornhub's viewers on game consoles are under 18 as you continue to present as a fact?
@jrmorgan this isn’t a court of law so why would I census the PS4 user base for something as mundane but yet so blatantly obvious?
Arguing the point just makes you sound:
Logic, common sense and the utterly obvious dictate that thatvisbwhats happening because that is what young lads would, do, and always will do.
Every lad always has; the risk and danger is that today, the ease of accessibility and the sheer extreme nature of content is so vastly skewed into the negative that it isn’t as innocent as it used to be and waaaaaaay more monitoring, security and education of parents is needed.
When I hear about all the current cases of underage teenage with genuine addiction problems to PornHub type services and utterly deprived things that they get up to at such young ages; it’s shocking.
This content should not be accessible so readily through what uneducated parents perceive as an innocent toy.
