WTF! PlayStation and Xbox Just Tweeted At Each Other And Now We Love Late Capitalism

An historic summit occurred today on Twitter as the official accounts for two major gaming rivals briefly acknowledged each other’s existence.

On Friday morning, the official Twitter account for PlayStation tweeted a playful, coquettish ‘u up?’ at the official Xbox account. 19 minutes later, Xbox responded in kind, saying: ‘sup?’

The exchange has been retweeted over 150 thousand times with such uniform positivity that the phrase “this is everything” continues to trend globally. The two companies have been lauded for putting their differences aside in the middle of a vicious, brutal console war and improving the lives of all who witnessed it.

“It’s so humbling to see my friends Xbox and Sony chatting like this”, popular streamer cronch_boner tweeted. “Today we are all gamers.”
