XBox One Launch Starts New Round of Console Wars
I'll stick to my PC, thanks
Arieo Gonzalez had been waiting for an Xbox One since 1 p.m. Thursday. Brian Miller, in his own way, had been waiting since June.
Both walked away from a Best Buy in Timonium, Maryland, early Friday with one of the newly released, next-generation gaming consoles from Microsoft.
The box hit shelves a week after rival Sony's PlayStation 4, marking the official start of the latest battle in gaming's console wars.
Miller, 40, who pre-ordered the Xbox One in June, said he loves everything Microsoft does. The Sparks, Maryland, resident prepared by playing his Xbox 360 "into the ground" with his 8-year-old daughter, Laci.
