sony vs microsoft


   For many years Sony and Microsoft have always been in competition with one another. Both companies have come out with all sorts of products but the most discussed rivalry would be sonny’s play station 3 vs. Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Each one of these systems has their strengths and weaknesses so that’s why they are in such a big rivalry with one another. A major part of this rivalry comes from online gaming which is basically a way for people to play other people all around the world. Although both systems have it there are some pros and cons to both of them which make them in such rivalry with one another.
   The play station lets you play online for free rather than with Xbox where you have to pay for it. It may seem that play station is the better system because of the free online it’s actually not because there are things about the Xbox that can rival that. With the Xbox you can experience a larger online gaming community which means there are more people playing online on the Xbox than on the play station. The Xbox also has better games for it that are only for the Xbox like with the game halo which is a very popular game that’s only for the Xbox.

   McDonalds first opened in 1940 as a barbeque restaurant. The founders of McDonalds were dick and Mac McDonald. When dick and Mac first opened their store in San Bernardino California it was nothing more then a drive in restaurant with a large menu and a car hop service. Dick an Mac shut down the restaurant for three months for alternations. When they reopened the restaurant they reduced their menu to nine items with their staple item the 15 cent hamburger.
   They would then replace their potato chips with their world famous French fries. After they added French fries they began to expand McDonalds by opening their second shop in Des Plains, Illinois. They would eventually grow from two restaurants to a hundred. Their restaurant in Denver would become the first one with indoor service. In 1963 McDonalds would expand their restaurants to 500 with the opening of their one in Toledo Ohio.
   A couple years later they would air their first commercial advertising  their new item the big mac.
