Xbox vs PlayStation : a War to go Down in History

So you might be thinking…

”Well this amazing and handsome and intelligent young man on the internet has told me about different gaming platforms but I want to get a console, hmm which one do you recommend?”

Well Internet person, that’s a personal choice, so I could say ‘I don’t know’, but that wouldn’t be very helpful now would it! There are two consoles that you could look at. These are..

 

Xbox

So, Xbox is what I prefer as I like the controller layout more. An Xbox controller looks like this   

At first you might think its weird how the sticks aren’t parallel to each other like this, 

however, it feels better than it looks as it fits comfortably in your hand. But if you don’t think that would be good for you then..

 

PlayStation

PlayStation has a very different controller layout, although it might not look like that at first. Also holding a PlayStation controller is very different and in my opinion less comfortable.

This is a PlayStation controller and believe it or not the thing above the dots is pressable!

You might notice that the buttons are different than the Xbox and there are more. There are symbols now rather than letters! So if you chose one of these 2 controllers over the other be aware the buttons are different – don’t refer to the B button to a PlayStation player, they will look at you oddly!.
