If you happen to have read our article about all the PlayStation video game consoles we have since 1195, then you know that it only fits that we do an article for the most significant rival to the PlayStation.
The Xbox line of video game consoles has been the biggest competitor to Sony’s PlayStation game console line for years since the late 1990s.
They are packed with some of the best tech any video game console could have for its price range, and they are also one of the most beautifully designed video game consoles ever seen.
