Both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 are set to release in November. They are predicted to be powerhouses in reforming console gaming.

“I think both are going to be great consoles but in my eyes the Xbox just offers more exclusives,” said Joseph Moreno, 11.

The Xbox One releases on Nov. 22, the PS4 will release on Nov. 29. Their predecessors did phenomenally well on the market, the Xbox 360 and the PS3.

“I had the Xbox 360, I have had it now for a few years and Microsoft has been very good to me throughout those so I am getting the Xbox One,” said Adam Ioas, 11.

The prices may be the deciding factor for many people. The Xbox One costs $100 more than the PS4 at $500.

“The Xbox One is just too expensive for me, which is the reason I am going with the PS4,” said Ivan Porollo, 11.

The complete details about the two consoles will be known until their release.

This year SHS Fashion for the Cure raised $59,000 dollars for The Dragonfly Foundation. All this money is in support of families whose kids are battling cancer. FFTC is an annual event that brings together our entire Sycamore community in appreciating the artistry and skill of its students, all while supporting a good cause. It is one of a kind and finds its way into peoples lives year after year. A week after the 2020 fashion show COVID-19 took hold and FFTC was unfortunately not able to be held in 2021. However, this setback only further motivated the committee, designers, volunteers, and others this year to work hard to come out with a bang for the 2022 show. So, that is exactly what happened. Featured are some notable designers and their collections from the show on February 18, 2022.

I am a senior and this is currently my fourth year on The Leaf staff. I am one of the staff writers this year although I have previously been an A&E chief. I thoroughly enjoy writing articles about video games as gaming is one of my many hobbies. My favorite movies are “The Untouchables” and “Gladiator” because both are very inspiring and well-made movies. At SHS I am a member of the Boys Varsity Water Polo Team as well as the Boys Varsity Swim Team, I also do club swimming with the Cincinnati Marlins in the spring and summer.
