Xbox One vs Playstation 4: South Park Style!

Happy Friday Techfans! As you probably already know, the PS4 has been released to the public, starting up the console wars between it and the upcoming Xbox One. However, if you’ve been on gaming forums recently (or if you’re a Microsoft or Sony fanboy/fangirl), you know this debate has been going on for a while now. And with the weekend and Black Friday just around the corner, what’s a better time for some fun flame wars?

South Park completely captures the craziness of Black Friday and the console wars nearly perfectly in this week’s episode. It’s titled “Black Friday” (go figure) and constantly alludes to HBO’s television series, Game of Thrones, and the biggest shopping day all year for Americans everywhere.

While there have been many videogame-centric South Park episodes in the past, namely the famous Warcraft episode, the latest episode displays the boys split over what console they all should buy this Black Friday: Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Stan and Kyle end up arguing and spitting out reasons why one console is better than the other. Kyle defends the One by saying, “Stan, the PS4 doesn’t have the seamless transition between games, movies, and TV offered by Xbox One!” Stan then promotes the PS4 by taking about the benefits of the touchpad controller. Cartman then ends their discord by initiating a statement that would fill any Sony fanboy with rage: “Let these Sony f***s wallow in their limited voice control functionality!” Pretty funny stuff here, folks!

What console are you getting this holiday season? Or have you already invested in a kickass gaming PC? Let us know in the comments!

            Not everybody gets these things from their parents. I’m 25, have a pc, and a ps4. My parents didn’t pay a dime for it.
            You sound like a petulant child when you say that.
