ODDSON ON TECH OddsonTechnology @OddsonTechnology Never forget when Gabe Newell was asked to choose Xbox or PlayStation.

The video leverages a well-known figure in the gaming industry, Gabe Newell, to discuss a perennial topic of interest: the console war. The unexpected choice and brief, somewhat cryptic reasoning create intrigue and encourage discussion.

A panel discusses the upcoming release of new PlayStation and Xbox consoles and asks Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve and creator of Steam, which he would choose. Newell states he has no stake in the console war but would "definitely go with an Xbox" because he "needs Microsoft."
