The Xbox is a home video game console and the first installment in the Xbox series of consoles manufactured by Microsoft.

It was released on November 15, 2001, in North America, followed by Australia, Europe and Japan in 2002.

It was Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market.

The sixth-generation console competed with Sony's PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube.

It was also the first console produced by an American company since the Atari Jaguar ceased production in 1996.

The PlayStation 4 (abbreviated as PS4) is a home video game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment.

Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 3 during a press conference on February 20, 2013, it was launched on November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, South America and Australia, and February 22, 2014, in Japan.

It competes with Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's Xbox One, as part of the eighth generation of video game consoles.

A Let's Play (commonly referred to as an LP) is a series of videos or screenshots, documenting a playthrough of a video game, usually including commentary by the gamer.

A Let's Play differs from a video game walkthrough or strategy guide by focusing on an individual's subjective experience with the game, often with humorous, irreverent, or critical commentary from the gamer, rather than being an objective source of information on how to progress through the game.

While Let's Plays and streaming of game playthroughs are releated, Let's Plays tend to be curated experiences that include editing and scripted narration, while streaming is an unedited experience performed on the fly.

A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or computer monitor.

The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but as of the 2000s, it implies any type of display device that can produce two- or three-dimensional images.

Some theorists categorize video games as an art form, but this designation is controversial.

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries ("posts").

Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic.

In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and sometimes professionally edited.

MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.

The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
