Xbox Series X / PS5
If you want a next-gen console, you have a few options: go to an expensive reseller, wait to get a pre-order before launch, or start eating fast food. Both Sony and Microsoft have teamed up with cheap eats, giving you a chance to win an Xbox Series X at Taco Bell or a PS5 at Burger King. Many will be perfectly fine to jump both and roll the dice. But when it comes to eating, we find ourselves in a proxy console war waged for $ 5 tickets. Forget the power, forget the games, forget the user interface and services. This is a battle fought on self-service lines.
Taco Bell comes to this generation of consoles at an interesting time, embroiled in controversy over its decision to cut beloved items in the name of efficiency. And yet the core is still strong: cheesy and palatable, enough seasoning to mask the quality of the ingredients, the Fire Hot Sauce you can eat straight out of the package like crazy. Taco Bell hits that fast food sweet spot – live completely in the present, a constant flurry of greasy dopamine and salt hits that disappear the moment you’re done, allowing you to return to the register or be satisfied alone. . knowing that you will be able to eat it again at some point.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never tried Doritos Locos tacos. But I’m just glad to know that they exist.
Burger King, on the other hand, just can’t hack it. In recent years, I’ve asked exclusively in situations where McDonald’s is not available: airports, the entirety of the New Jersey turnpike, which has clearly signed some deal with the king. While I occasionally hear good reviews about their chicken sandwiches, the burgers are weird and flexible, with gross tomato slices and these weird chunky burgers that attempt a facsimile of a much better restaurant burger, but just don’t measure up.
French fries are good, French fries aren’t as good as McDonald’s.
Like I said, it’s not a fair fight. Sony was the undisputed winner of the last generation and enters the PS5 / Xbox Series X fray with better name recognition, some of the best exclusive developments in the business and. However, when it comes to selecting fast food associations, Microsoft wins.
As a bonus, Nintendo did something with McDonald’s to Super mario odyssey. So, actually, Nintendo wins.
