- Why I’m Choosing PlayStation 4 Over Xbox One
Throughout this console generation, I have primarily been an Xbox 360 gamer. Whenever possible, I’d plump for the Xbox version of a game and rarely played PS3 exclusives unless work demanded it. This is in stark contrast to the previous generation, where I was a staunch PlayStation 2 supporter and barely even held an Xbox controller.

Hi, A friend of mine’s child recently knocked over some stock on display outside a store and broke it.
