Is the PS5 better than the Xbox Series X? Well, according to the militia of PlayStation fans who swarm every tweet from the official Xbox Twitter account, the "PS5 is better." Whether or not this is true, is a debate for another time, but if you follow the official Xbox Twitter account, you'll know it's replies are flooded with this exact reply, almost every time. Today, the corporate Twitter account leaned into this meme and tried to extend an olive branch to PlayStation fans overcome with negative emotion for the new Xbox Series X account. As you would expect, the tweet is quickly going viral.

The tweet was issued at 4 p.m. EST, on the nose, which suggests it was a planned tweet. In other words, the person running the account didn't go rogue and this wasn't a spontaneous tweet or, at least, the tweet doesn't appear to check either of these boxes.

Nintendoes what MicroSony doesn't

Nintendo are like "Competition? What competition?".

They don't give a fuck about what anybody else does and that's how it should be.

under any sony tweet is a ton of "xbox better" tweets and vice versa with xbox tweets. it's a really weird meme and they show up instantly.

Nintendo would issue a DMCA on motherfuckers spouting that nonsense. You don't mess with the yakuza!

 

[Dream-Knife]

As a veteran of the 90s console wars, it is very odd to see this. Especially that game awards when all 3 were together.

Funny people still get tribal about game consoles.

Yes

Having worked for a platform holder, I can tell you the reality is that us employees of them were cool with each other. It's just the consumers that fight with each other.

 

[Silent Viper]

Corporate twitter account are gross.

Just like your post.

 

[Dr Bass]

People who reply “PS5 is better” are losers. Geez.

So What is your opinion gaf are console warriors of 2000s 2010s or current day the worst?

 

[RaZoR No1]

strangely I never saw a post about "mobile better"

 

[Negotiator101]

It's just that personal touch that Xbox has but sadly the competition are lacking. I believe it's down to the leadership of both divisions.

 

[anthony2690]

I'll never understand why these people that post ps5 is better, follow every single Xbox social page and usually enter every single Xbox giveaway too XD.

The Xbox/Microsoft social pages are incredibly well run though, randomly a Microsoft store Twitter page gave me a 25 Xbox gift card for no reason, plus it amuses me how much the Microsoft store page talks about anime

 

[Fredrik]

This is the way.

Now they just need to start releasing their games on both platforms so us gamers don’t have to have a pile of plastic boxes under the TV. Or just release everything on PC.

 

[Fredrik]

So What is your opinion gaf are console warriors of 2000s 2010s or current day the worst?

They’re worse now. Because they’re the same people, now middle aged, still arguing like kids over which plastic toy is the best.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I don't know why you're being mean to Microsoft considering Bill Gates went out of his way to name it after your pp

 

[phil_t98]

Are all those anti Xbox tweets thelastword

 

[FranXico]

Title should read "Xbox twitter engaged in console warring".

 

[Dr. Claus]

Man some of those fanboy replies on the Xbox twitter, the insecurity is real.

Sony, Nintendo, Xbox - doesn't matter. The children come out of the wood work to cry about their preferred box.

[tusharngf]

Have xbox given up the fight ? whats with this middle ground reply lol.

 

[Marvel]

While I agree and always buy both consoles, I enjoy trash talk from companies more lol.

 

[THEAP99]

This is so professional on them. Meanwhile the PlayStation twitter treats gamers like they don't care.

 

[MasterDerico]

Wow, what a slap in the face of the stupid fanboys!
