word usage - Use of 'Like' and 'Unlike' prepositions

I am confused about the usage of the words like and unlike in sentences. Like and unlike make me confused because I see them being used everywhere almost interchangeably, and to make matters worse I even saw commas making difference in meaning.

Which of the following sentences is most correct, and least ambiguous?

Unlike Xbox, Playstation can't play Halo.

Playstation can't play Halo unlike Xbox can.

Playstation can't play Halo, unlike Xbox can.

Like Xbox, Playstation can't play Halo.

Playstation can't play Halo like Xbox can.

Playstation can't play Halo, like Xbox can.

Playstation can't play Halo unlike Xbox.

Playstation can't play Halo, unlike Xbox.

Playstation can't play Halo like Xbox.

Playstation can't play Halo, like Xbox.

In case you don't know what I actually wanted to say in those sentences: I'm trying to say that Playstation can't run the Halo video game and Xbox can run that game. I probably should have tried sentences with no brands but I can't imagine any meaningful sentences at this moment which contains like/unlike.

Answer

Use like if you are highlighting something the two have in common. Use unlike if you are contrasting them.

In your case, you are contrasting Xbox and Playstation, so go with your first attempt (I'll ignore the pedant's objection that neither can play Halo):

Unlike Xbox, Playstation can't play Halo.

If you are concerned about the double negative, turn it around:

Unlike Playstation, Xbox can play Halo.

Your examples 2 and 3 have an extraneous trailing can. The phrase unlike Xbox already implies the negation of the prior can't.

Examples 5 and 6 are interesting:

Playstation can't play Halo like Xbox can.

Playstation can't play Halo, like Xbox can.

Example 6 says that Playstation cannot play Halo but Xbox can. However, example 5 implies that Playstation can play Halo, just in a different manner to Xbox. Example 5 carries the suggestion that Playstation is inferior in this comparison.

Examples 2, 3 and 7 are ungrammatical, example 8 is of similar construction to example 6, and example 9 is of similar construction to example 5.

Examples 4 and 10 each makes a direct comparison between the two, so they say that both cannot play Halo.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
