Between the fanboys of the beloved PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, one must always come up on top. Whether it be for graphics, or games, or even online, it always has to be something. But, how about coolness? Is PlayStation perhaps cooler than Xbox?
The answer is a simple, yes. According to the annual CoolBrands, the PlayStation brand is in fact above Xbox. The list is done yearly by CoolBrands, and brings the top 500 brands into one neat pile. This year, the survey sampled 2 500 people, who were defined as ‘influential opinion formers’. PlayStation listed a nice 10, while Xbox was close behind at number 11.
