I can understand brand preference to a point but these console and stans are beyond unreasonable and completely irrational ]it's like kids arguing over whose dad can beat up the other. I dont have much interaction with google/apple stans so I can't speak on them.

LOL

we've reached a point where we're arguing over cell phone operating systems that are marginally different and have most of the same software developed by the same developers. arguing over video game consoles that have 90% the same library and maybe get 10 or so exclusive titles a year out of hundreds of releases.

some of us are basically volunteer advertisers marketing these companies products for them for free.

i'm all for having preferences but if you can't play Uncharted because its on the Playstation and you're an Xbox brand warrior that doesn't make Uncharted a bad game it just means you missed out on a good game to remain loyal to something that has no reward for your loyalty.

there's a difference between having a preference and illogically convincing yourself a non-preferred brand is bad because it doesn't align with your preference. especially to the point where you miss out on things you'd like because of that.

There's a lot of games on PS3 that i want to play but i aint about to buy a PS3 and that game. I could spend that money on some other shyt. :yeshrug:
fukk brand loyalty. Most niccas on here are thinking with their wallet. Thats why MS bout to take an L this comin gen...:heh:

Fanatical devotion.

I just bother fanboys. I own all consoles and a gaming PC at the end of the day

I just buy whatever is the best at the time, which is why I went to PC and dropped these damn consoles and went from iPhone to Android :myman:

SONY is CLEARLY better than anything Microsoft. :snoop:
This is coming from a 360 stan (07-10). Once i got a PS3 my life was changed. i suggest you take heed and support Sony because M$ is robbing people blind. :troll: Nintendo>>>>>>

Brand loyalty/disloyalty can be justified though. If you've been doing business with a company for years and they've given you great treatment, why wouldn't you want to support them?

And there are justified reasons for not supporting other companies, like repeated poor service or just certain philosophies you hold.
If i buy an LG TV and its a good TV i'd do business with them again but i am not loyal to that brand. i'm in the market for a TV and whoever makes the best TV next go round will get my money. if in 2017 LG's flagship TV is inferior to Sony's flagship i'm not gonna irrationally defend LG or try to slam Sony to justify that fact.

brand loyalty is a disservice to yourself as a consumer. as a consumer you should be looking for the best deal on the highest quality product.

if Apple drops iOS 7 and its widely considered to be far superior to the next version of Android there are people here that wouldn't buy the next iPhone even if it was better because they are brand loyal to Google.

Why are you a fan of your favorite sports team?
the whole concept of sports is built on brand loyalty. that's the entire appeal of sports is having and following a team. there's a difference between being a sports fan of a team and saying i only brush my teeth with Crest toothpaste and nobody should use Aquafresh.
