I am confused are you mocking me or agreeing with meOk 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
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.
