Pfft. My friends are so casual. They don't know if they are buying a brick or an XB One.

Ergo, no.

I buy whatever I want.

My friends usually follow whatever I buy seeing as I'm the "gaming nerd" who always buys first.

Unfortunately, most of Spain's gaming is reduced to Fifa, Pes, Call of Duty, Battlefields and Need For Speeds. I remember when I went to purchase Catherine and the guy at the retail store told me only five units came for the 360 and they had already sold four. I'm still looking for those mates who purchased the other units

 

I literally made a friend somewhere else just because we both liked Demon's Souls xD


I would not do well in Europe considering those are all the types of games/the specific gamer culture that I detest. At least there's a couple people out there like you. :P

I could never say no to that face and that body.

No. Everyone at work owns an Xbox 360, and maybe three or four of my friends own a PS3. My coworkers and I talked about the PS4 and One back when they were about to launch, and all of them were interested in One while I was the only one interested in both. Maybe that's why I'm an outcast at work :(



I buy whatever i like.

peer pressure is for the weak. I guess hitler loved those kind of people, cause once one wanted to join his army their friends followed.



 

 

We all bought different ones interestingly enough... I got a wiiU, my friend got a x1 and my other friend got a ps4... We are all PC gamers so we mostly play on PC and we all have 3ds... We will eventually end up buying all 3 but for now, we are just testing the waters to see which one is the best

That's pretty cool. Have you tried out the other consoles with your friends, yet? What do you think so far?

I've been playing my friend's Xbox One for a bit and I really like it. He also plays the WiiU when he comes over and likes that.

That's kinda harsh to outcast you for having an interest in the PS4. How do the conversations typically go?
