PS4 Versus XBox One: The Pseudo-Musical

It's time to pick a side: Xbox One or PlayStation 4? Each console has its pros and cons, but only one can be the greatest gamer device to have ever lived.

Antonius and Vijay Nazareth, the brother duo behind mini-musical YouTube channel AVByte, are settling the score with a West Side Story-inspired musical number.

"We're both huge gamers, and we knew we wanted to do something bigger than we had ever done before to address the 'Console Wars,'" Antonius told Mashable. The parody song takes cues from West Side Story's "Tonight Quintet," the scene in which the Sharks and the Jets duke it out.

The song's Xbox One fans (representing the Sharks) laud their superior tech, arguing, "Why play a game on a half a screen?" The PS4 fans (repping the Jets) promise low prices and fire back, "Nobody cares about Kinect." Even Maria and Tony make appearances, as PC lovers — just like the Nazareth boys.

"[My brother and I] both happen to feel that PC gaming is the way to go," Antonius said.
