We all know how popular Xbox can be on social media, and the brand has absolutely taken over Twitter over the past few hours with a viral PlayStation-based tweet that racked up 30,000 likes within just an hour.
The tweet pokes fun at social media trolls who are often seen commenting on Xbox's posts that "PlayStation is better" - it happens more often than you might expect! Here's the tweet in question:
Xbox has obviously been getting a lot of attention as a result of this, with Ubisoft even calling it a "masterful tweet", and various other brand names such as State Farm, Slim Jim and Pizza Hut also getting involved in the discussion.
The Xbox Twitter account was in the news a few months ago as well, racking up tens of thousands of likes for its responses to criticism of the Xbox Pride Controller design. These sorts of viral posts are becoming pretty common!
Any thoughts on this? Let us know down in the comments below.

Goes both ways, go on twitter and click on playstation, click any article and what do you see 5-6 times out the top 10 comments.... Xbox better.
Twitter is just full of troll accounts wherever you go, especially if it's gaming or football related. As a platform I don't see why people take it seriously.
Twitter is not a place for anything good. Just screeching and idiocy.
Funny tweet. But Playstation's is better.
@BeerIsAwesome seems they aren’t specifically shading PlayStation but the people and “bots” that follow Xbox so hard just to post “PlayStation better” on every post. Equating those people/trolls to razor blades in Halloween candy is masterful indeed
Seems a little bit pointed toward those Acti-Blizz acquisition battles, eh?
I don’t even get this??? Why is it masterful?
I mean if I were a corporation, then I would try and relate myself to something a little less likely to contribute towards obesity and diabetes, and you know, like a Mars corporation.
I mean, it’s a giggle, in the same way a high school joke is.
I commented on a YouTube video that Rise of the Ronin is the only game that kinda makes me want a PS5. No jab or anything.
Already had two different people telling me that PS5 has better exclusives and that I should stop making excuses and buy one.
Geez.
Do not feed trolls. It’s that simple do not engage.
I’m just dropping by to say PlayStation is better.
@Lup there are some solid exclusives on PS, I’ll never deny that. It’s why I also have a PS5 (and a switch.)
But there is nothing that will stop me from playing Starfield day one on my Xbox series x. If I had to pick a single platform exclusive to buy in the next 5 years (on any platform,) it would be Starfield.
@FatalBubbles it’s an October American nationwide nonsensical panic thing based on old 80s mom fears about some psychopaths inserting either drugs or razor blades on Halloween candy.
@Tharsman
I have a PS4. So there's nothing so far that I can't play there. At least in terms of stuff I actually want to play.
PS has a lot of popular exclusives, yeah, but nothing that really blows my mind right now. Most of them are stuff I'm not interested in.
Potentially harsh viewpoint incoming. I've had a Switch since it launched and same for the Series X. I always wanted a playstation 4. I still have the Amazon wish list for the games I'd get. But seeing the lies spouted about believing in generations, the price hikes on games and the PS5, the ***** show with next gen upgrades, the desecration of GT7. The attitude during the ongoing Activision blizzard acquisition; being an open and shut case in my opinion. I don't believe Sony and think they are fighting the inevitable and damaging their relationship with Microsoft. I could be proven wrong on that. But I'm sure I'm missing things. I had wanted a PS5 till I saw how big and ugly it was then I told myself mid gen refresh should be smaller and look better, I'll get that. Well maybe I'm spiteful but I know now I would not only buy everything 2nd hand on eBay if I go ahead with plans to play Sony exclusives. Purposefully to not give Sony a penny directly. The holding up of this acti blizz acquisition was the final straw. Jim Ryan has made so many missteps imo this gen. Sony's reputation in my mind is shot and they no longer deserve my custom. That's me, my decision. Do what you want obviously!
@Tharsman Well I’m an American, but born in late 80s so maybe it’s before my time. Lol.
