Ok shakespeare, here is one for you. Thou shall not convince thy friends through persuasion, thou shall state the unique features of this new brilliant device. And thy friends will naturally grow an acute taste for the new features and wish to purchase one for themselves. It is only human nature to wish for what only the stars can give.
So don't try to convince them. Just state the facts when the conversation is brought up. But don't say "hey you should buy one" cause it gives them all the power to say negative things. Keep the power. Beat them up before you state the facts. JK

I am confused are you mocking me or agreeing with me :huh:
As to your second paragraph which I know you said JK, but I still am unsure, it would probably be best not to state fact in a aggressive say manner this is one thing which is always forgotten a bright example would be PC Gamers(Which I am one of) tends to try to show how their machine is better through aggression and in lots of cases mocking manner the reason for them doing this is to try to convince people to go PC but instead just makes non pc gamers more angry.

One of the guys at my GameStop didn't even know they were making Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.

Lol! Really? What planet is this guy from?

It honestly isn't that surprising not everybody stays up to date on handheld news especially if they don't own that said handheld not to mention the information on the next smash bros has been close to none and its release date could be years away.

It's funny though because he is a GameStop employe. Most of the time they should be educated on games, since they do work for a company that's sells pretty much just video game stuff. But you're right in the sense of the game has barely made much announcement.I just think GameStop employe's should know this kind of stuff so that customers will know about it too.

Probably from Planet Microsoft, or maybe the Sony System.

I was agreeing with you, and complimenting your grammar :) and the point of the second paragraph was to not be aggressive and be passive, but don't specifically state your mission of convincing them to buy the Wii U. Cause I agree that trying to convince them aggressively will just make them hate Nintendo and its fans more :(

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

Well to be fair it is a game that nobody, not even you know much about. Except that it exists and is coming out sometime in the future. There's really not much to know about it besides that it exists. So give that guy a break

Edit: I misread your comment and completely missed this part --> ''But you're right in the sense of the game has barely made much announcement.'' Sorry if I came off sounding like a jerk

I have no idea. Only one of my friends is as excited about this thing as I am. I tried to convince a few of my friends who are Xbox fans about it but they (jokingly) just say, ''I already have a 7th gen system''. And my other friend is aware of the Wii U but doesn't really care. I'm hoping that between now and the ''Holiday Season'' they change their minds. The more friends I have to play on there with the better :)

lol what a bunch of jerks haha.

idk, for any ps3 or xbox360 fan, you cant really change them until proper titles and comparisons come out with the other next gen consoles

heck, i would not try and convince anyone at this point, too new, we know nothing hardware wise about this console.
:laugh:

Wish is a shame because we are supposed to be buying the console within 3 months time.
Can't convince anyone to save up their money if they don't know why they would do it.

Trophy Cards are classy too! LOLZIGZAGOON

Eh. Not much more needs to be said than "First next gen system to come out. Stronger than current gen. Evidence shows that it will be of similar strength to competition. Will get both 3rd party and 1st party titles. Oh, and it has better online if you're into that."

If that doesn't work then probably nothing will unless something becomes exclusive. :/

I'm pretty much the only one getting it from my circle of friends. It's mainly because they won't have the money to dish out on such a system, also that they're waiting for the "true next gen" systems from Microsoft and Sony.
