X-box vs PlayStation


Which one do you think is the best gaming console? Both consoles have their advantages and disadvantages. The Sony Playstation 3 totally overpowers the Xbox 360 with more power, better graphics, and a Blu-Ray drive inbuilt basically a beast, yet Xbox 360 is higher selling. Gamers prefer Xbox 360 because of the shooter games, a better controller, a more secure online network, and being cheaper than the Playstation 3. The Playstation 3 is definitely a better choice if you want quality and features, but hardcore online Gamers would prefer the Xbox 360. Playstation network is free but has had problems since it was launched. Gamers are disconnected from the server constantly and the server stays down for days, also attacked by hackers, but a Xbox live gold pack would cost you $50, so if you don’t want to be disconnected from your online world of gaming, you rather get a Xbox and pay extra.  The ps3 comes with an inbuilt Blu-Ray drive which the Xbox lacks; the Xbox still uses a DVD drive for playback. A Blu-Ray drive allows you to play the latest high definition and 3d Blu-Ray, also having more space on the disc; most of the ps3 games have better graphic improvements than the Xbox 360. A normal 3d Blu-Ray player costs almost as much as the Playstation 3, so getting a ps3 would save you a few bucks. Another advantage that the Playstation 3 has is the exclusive titles available, Playstation 3 has a bigger and better list of exclusive titles, award winning games such as Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Infamous and many others titles are only available for the Playstation. I personally have always been a fan of the Playstation family and according to me, there is no way Microsoft Xbox would ever be able to overpower the Sony Playstation, what do you think?

Coca-Cola vs Pepsi


People have been enjoying cola flavored drinks ever since the first glass of Coca-cola was served in 1886 at an Atlanta pharmacy, and today it has become an important part of the beverage industry. Moreover, it would not be surprising if this has led to rivalry between cola manufacturers. Coke and Pepsi have always been the biggest rivals; it has almost been a century long rivalry. But which one is better? Coca-Cola or Pepsi? To once and for all settle this debate, Pepsi had introduced what was called the ‘Pepsi-challenge’, what they did was, they made people taste coke and Pepsi  in blank cups at the same time and asked to choose one. This marketing promotion was considered unsuccessful, but Pepsi claimed more Americans preferred Pepsi than coke. Pepsi had dominated the market until 2011 when diet coke overtook Pepsi making it the second best in the cola industry. Personally, I prefer coca cola to Pepsi, Pepsi is more sweetened and coke is more carbonated, and I like a refreshing fizz more than a sweetened drink. Even though coke has been the top selling cola, Pepsi has been able to maintain head-to-head competition. It is still undecided which is considered the best. Pepsi is more preferred by people but coke is still the highest selling cola. If I were asked, Coke would always be number one in my book.
