Week 2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group-Video Games

Sony PlayStation has really improved and worked its way to the top. Sony PlayStation had its ups and downs just like anything else does, and of course Xbox was their biggest competition. I think just about any game system is  cash cow, because yeah they will sell when they're in high demand, but then people will want more. People are always going to "want" something better and new, they'll always want to update their dated game systems. PlayStation is always coming up with new and better way to access or play a video game. Xbox on the other hand usually follows behind, so PlayStation is always before and has always been better.  "The PlayStation 4 is economically superior as a pure gaming system, but the Xbox One is superior as a comprehensive media hub that doubles as a game system." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2419594,00.asp Although they both had there ups and down like I said before, but PlayStation always seems to rise back up. "The release of the PlayStation 4 in North America - it goes on sale in Europe and Latin America in a fortnight - is seen by many as the true dawn for next-generation console gaming after the troubled launch of Nintendo's Wii U." http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-24899400  So over all they're both good systems, but that first quote just goes to show as a gaming system PlayStation is better, and Xbox is more of a media hub. "With more than 300,000 mentions, PlayStation 4 drove close to three time more social media on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, and Reddit than did Microsoft's Xbox One." http://www.slideshare.net/WishpondTechnologiesLtd/black-friday-and-cyber-monday-stats
