XBOX Versus Playstation
October 11, 2019
XBOX and Playstation are two of the most popular gaming consoles out there, but there has always been a conflict between the two. People want to know which is better.
One question to consider is, are you able to access the same games on both consoles? The short answer is yes and no. More than half of the games are accessible on both consoles. There are some exclusive games that you can only play on one or the other. Games such as ROBLOX (XBOX), Halo 5 (XBOX), Cup Head (XBOX), and most of the Forza games are all exclusive XBOX games. Most of the bigger games such as Minecraft, FORTNITE, and any sports games, you are able to access on both.
Now let’s consider the recent updates these consoles have gone through. XBOX tends to update more often than Playstation. The last Playstation released was the PS4 Pro in 2016, which costs around $400. The Playstation 5 (PS5) is coming out in November of 2020, with a $100 increase in cost, bringing the retail price to $500. Now consider the XBOX. The last XBOX that came out was the XBOX One X, which was released in 2017 and cost $500. Microsoft states that in 2020, they will come out with an XBOX that has four times the power of the previous XBOX-One X and Microsoft calls it Project Scarlett. Rumor has it Project Scarlett will cost around $500. We will see about that next year.Â
Now the big question…which one is better,  XBOX or Playstation? These are both great consoles and it’s up to all the gamers out there to decide. When asked which console is better, Leif McFerson, an experienced gamer, stated ‘’XBOX.’’ McFerson owns an XBOX One S. Another gamer Gavin Tan, was interviewed and also stated the same thing, “XBOX.” Â
We got the vote from Mr. Grillo’s sixth period history class and these were the results. There were 31 students in the class and 19 Said XBOX while 7 voted for Playstation.
These are two good consoles and we have to remember that they are great for all gamers out there. If you are wondering which one to get, the answer is easy…get the one that your friends play on! Games are about having fun and you can increase the amount of fun by playing with your friends.Â
Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments because we all want to know which console you think is better.

I think the Nintendo Switch is superior because of: Mario kart, super smash bros, legend of zelda, kirby, and splatoon.
I rest my case

Aidan • Jan 21, 2020 at 2:53 pm

I TOTALLY AGREE NOAH!!!!! (but XBOX is still better)

the Wii U is better than both because there are a lot more multiplayer games and it is so much easier because XBOX and PlayStations require the internet for almost all of their games but the Wii U has a lot of offline games that you can play by yourself or with family. Also it is way cheaper.

I don’t have either because I don’t play console games. If I had to choose though, it seems like more people enjoy Xbox more than they do PlayStation.
Olivia • Oct 17, 2019 at 3:10 pm
I don’t own either a XBOX or Playstation so this information was very useful for me in case I were to get one in the future. I like that the author compared between the two to give you an idea of what each console is like to make it easy for beginner gamers like me. Keep up the great work!
Robert LeDoux • Oct 17, 2019 at 2:54 pm
I’m not too sure. I have an Xbox, but sounds like Playstation is good too.
Andrew Pham • Oct 17, 2019 at 12:05 pm
This article was interesting and fun to read. I liked how you compared Xbox and Playstation.
Blake Vera • Oct 17, 2019 at 12:04 pm
I like how you gave both sides of the argument, Xbox or Playstation.
Charlie Cheetham • Oct 17, 2019 at 12:03 pm
I like how you researched the different perspective of each of the consoles, and how you stated what the companies said about the new consoles.

I love democracy
Jeremiah • Oct 17, 2019 at 10:58 am
I think XBOX and I wouldn’t buy the switch because it doesn’t have madden. I have a generic Xbox one and it still works great
Kainoa Salanoa • Oct 17, 2019 at 10:54 am
I personally think that playstation is better because the graphics and the features about it. Xbox is too complicated unlike playstaion where it is more organized.
Joshua Butler • Oct 17, 2019 at 10:52 am
I have a Xbox one S and the main thing that I like the most is how the controller feels. When you hold a PlayStation controller it feels way to cramped but the Xbox feels spaced and in the exact spot I want it. I personally say get a Xbox. (get a Wii.)
Wilson Fedre • Oct 17, 2019 at 10:03 am
I think both are good but I have a Xbox so I have to say Xbox is better.
Tyler Seedorf • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:59 am
I agree with you that xbox is better. I like how you gathered a lot of information from different sources.
Jordan Jones • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:52 am
Xbox may have better graphics, but Playstation is just better.
Brandon Chiou • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:51 am
Nice objected article.
Jack Callies • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:48 am
xbox is the way to go
Richard • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:38 am
I think XBOX is better because we actually have fun games and some exclusives.
Alfredo Lopez • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:37 am
Playstation has better graphics though
Tony Hamashita • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:32 am
My question is, what if we have XBOX, Playstation, Switch, and PC?
Aidan • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:28 am
XBOX FOREVER!!!!
Brock • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:24 am
XBOX IS TEN TIMES BETTER GET AN XBOX
Ethan Becker • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:24 am
I always have played XBOX and I like the console a lot more due to the backwards compatibility. However, we all know that PC is superior.
Gavin • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:23 am
This article was very well said and I was very impressed. I just wish there was a little more information stated about the consoles, like the technical side of it, but nevertheless, this was a great article to read.
Zack Dollins • Oct 17, 2019 at 9:22 am
I really like the topic you picked and I thought that your writing was very good. I like the specific details you had for both consoles. There is a widespread controversy over this topic and I appreciate you covering it. Good luck on your goal to direct movies!
