The epic rivalry which has kids, teens and adults talking ‘smack’, all trying to make their chosen side seem superior. That’s right I am talking about the one and only game heavyweights. I am talking about Microsoft’s Xbox and SONY’s Play station battle to win over gamers’ hearts (and thumbs) from all over the world. The rivalry started in 2001 when Xbox released their first gaming platform. This platform was a major competitor for the already well established Play station 2 (PS2) and the very first Play station remake the PS-one which was released in the previous year (2000)with both Play station consoles already flying off the shelves Xbox had a stiff competition. They were destined to be our modern day gaming champions but at the time they did have other competition including Sega’s Dreamcast and Nintendo’s Gamecube. They soon moved onto the Play station 3 and Xbox 360 which both offered similar specifications but differed in certain parts making it the deciding aspects that allow gamers to make the ‘hardest choice ever’. Both game consoles also have single platform availability including ‘Gears of War’ for Xbox fanatics but ‘God of war’ for Play Station enthusiast. The tie breakers for the heavyweights are the recent most platforms released. The XBOX ONE and the PLAY STATION 4 which fates are yet to be decided they have been released a while ago but have yet a long way to go before the champion name is set in stone. In current time the PS4 is in a giant lead but with Xbox released in South Africa as of recent time anything is possible. So the question is still up for debate.XBOX OR PLAY STATION . Who will win? Who shall come out as the victor? Who do you support? |
