The reason those 18 student sucked because they spent more time playing the console than writing the paper about the console. If you wanna do WoW vs MS, and know enough about both, go for it. I've written papers that at the root were basically rants about Nexon and their pomegranatety customer service and still made an A on it.
If you're doing a topic that's unfamiliar to most people, balance it by picking supporting arguments that are familiar to people. Compare pomegranate to Hitler, allude to generalized social context. WoW economy vs MS economy then allude to today's economy. Compare the social behavior of WoW players to MS players and throw in some generalized points about behavior defined from psychology. It's not about the content, it's about the context.
I know any paper is good if it's written good, but the point she's trying to make is that she sees so many xbox and mac papers that she doesn't want to see any more. That's one of the first things she mentioned when she brought up the assignment. No mac vs PC and no xbox vs playstation.
