Forums - Microsoft - Do you influence others to purchase Xbox 360s? If so, whats your reward?

Sorry but to be honest i have talked many many people out of getting a 360. i find it m personal duty to take as many sales away from that console as i can. on the other hand i make the ps3 sound ike the next coming of christ and have got many people to get one who wouldnt probably have brought it.

I never really have to tell them. They just buy it anyway.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

I won't influence my friends and family to buy anything that they can't decide for themselves, I'll only suggest if I really think the product is what they're looking for and will help them. TBH, I think the whole concept of feeling good after getting someone to buy a product made by a favorite corporation is pretty pathetic.

I used to be a sales person, and that was part of the reason why I loved doing it. It was to help people, and there has to be some sort of social reward feeling if you share good times with people.

 

Sure, there's no problem at all if you help people as a sales person. The people that really annoy me are those losers that spend their entire day at gamestop trying to get costumers to buy their favorite product in order to raise the sales of their favorite company.

Biased salesmen are really annoying either. I actually once when into a gamestop and asked for a car charger for my PSP, then the girl behind the counter went on and on about how no one buys PSPs, which is their reason for not "having" items for it. Then, a miunte later, after looking and finding it myself, the girl went on trying to prevent a person from buying a PS3 because "MGS4 was going to come out on the 360 at the same time and be better anyways, and the bluray attachment for the 360 was coming out very soon". Needless to say, I never saw her working at that gamestop again.

I think I have influenced friends to buy every curent gen console out there. Sometimes they want to play MGS4/GT, sometimes they want Halo/GeOW or sometimes they want their kids or girlfriend/wife to get into gaming with them. It all depends on what the person is looking for. I'll feel good about "sharing good times" when I know that I helped them get what they were looking for.

I am, as usual, here from the front page. I only visit Sony and Nintendo regularly. You, on the other hand, are more of an MS puppet than I am a Sony one.

 

 

Yes you are a usual Anti-Microsoft Sony fanatic we know that

But please leave your hypocrisy for somewhere else or you will get reported

 

You are pathetic. I think i'll report you for whining and making my head hurt, I'll also go and report every Microsoft fan that posts in Sony forums aswell, then I'll report anyone that brings up the word "microsoft" in a Sony thread. I'll do all this after I report everyone that biasedly loves nintendo and everyone that says bad things about nintendo.

Yeah, I do that. It is rewarding to loan games to them and of course, play with them. :)



I "influence" my mates to get 360s, and my reward is having more people to play with. I don't tend to say anything to people I don't know. If they are smart, they'll already have a 360. If they are the kind of person that would rather buy a PS3 or a Wii, well...you can't really help people like that without at least 4 years at medical school. :D



Will you teach me to football?

I influence like a five or six mates all of them buy a 360 now, and i feel great

360 still the best for now because its have more games & the console meant for playing so more games mean better.



I convinced one of my friends to go 360, but I don't force my friends to buy products, unless it is an awesome DS!
