Xbox One vs. PS4 I love the Xbox One (“Xbox”) when compared to the PlayStation 4 (“PS”)because the Playstation seems a little confusing. The two consoles are both good but they don’t have things that the other console does. One thing that is kind of a big deal is that the Xbox has a whole game series called Halo. The Playstation has a game that the Xbox does not have as well but the game isn’t as well know. This game is Uncharted and it’s a series as well. Both the PS and Xbox have downloadable…

society. Involuntary exile is a special kind of torture that preys on our need for companionship. In the movie, Jake was ostracized as an “Outcast. Betrayer.
