The question stands, how will one get to know if they have out-bested the other? Luckily, the community has designated a term for such happening on Twitter, called ‘ratio’.

To clarify, the term means that a reply to a tweet has got more likes than the tweet. Therefore, meaning that the reply has overshadowed the tweet. Furthermore, the “L + ratio” is also another term that mocks the tweet by not only giving a certain reply many likes but also filling the Twitter thread with ‘L’ which means loss.

However, this seems to be not the case with the Xbox Twitter thread. Nonetheless, the ratio was tried, but the gaming company had some tricks up its sleeves.

Xbox turns the ratio in favor of the gaming community

Xbox has been exposed to many tweets, many fans that love the company, and some frustrated people as well. Being responsible contributors to the community, they have always wanted to deliver the best. And what happened on Twitter is a sure short example of it.
