A friend of mine has recently come back off of holiday, I just informed him by txt message I pre-ordered a Wii U while he was away, to which he replied back.. Gay, get a ps3, I replied back I like innovation and that I got it with zombi u and he hasn't replied back, why do grown adults act like childish fanboys, when i had a wii a another guy sniggered and said dont talk to me, this over a games console??

Viyda geamzz are serious business bro.

Because some people never grow up mentally. They never conquer their insecurities, and live their whole lives with the mind of a fearful teenager.

Or maybe you just lack a sense of humor? :P

Well...ps3 is pretty cool... Why not just skip the wiiu and buy a vita with a ps3. That way you can theoretically do the same things as the wiiu and your friends will still respect you. Crisis averted.

Unfortunately this has been going on for a long time.

There was a survey taken in the mid-1990s that demonstrated that a large number of teenagers wouldn't admit to owning a SNES because it wasn't as "adult" and "cool" as Genesis.

It's a real shame because it's one of several things that shine a very unflattering light on the industry and the medium.

PS3 is a pretty cool guy, eH plays Uncharted and doesn't afraid of anything.

The thing is I'm not even sure if he knows what a wii u is

Probably thinks you made a typo.

I agree that they are supposedly grown men that do take the whole fanboy thing to a rather immature level.

He is your friend and you should know him better than I do... (well I don't know him at all) but many people do say stuff like this in jest.

I do. It's just to tease
