Just Curious if friends influence your multi-plat buying decisions

If anyone here prefers PS3 but ends up buying all multi-plats for 360 because thats what most of their friends have...? Or vice versa per say... It sucks as it would be nice to build that collection for my ps3 but being like the only person i know who owns one makes for lonely gaming lol... So ya just curious to see if others are in the same boat as me :)

I buy multiplats for my 360 mainly because:

-It looks better on 360

-Most of my friends have that game on their 360

So basically if i bought the game (say mw2) for my ps3, i wouldnt be able to play with most of my friends

1.) I don't play multiplayer games

2.) I only have one friend

3.) He doesn't like multiplayer games

So no.

Nope becuase since I refuse to pay for live it doesint come into play.

if it is a multiplayer game which i am going to play with my friends then yes, though it mainly ends up on pc then :P

i only bought mw2 on the 360 so i coulld play with my friends,not for sp

but for sp like AC2 or Brutal Legend normally buy for my ps3

most of my friends arent gamers so its sad...

dude do you get out of your xbox? look at your gamerscore o.o

My brother and I always get multiplats on PS3.

1) We both have PS3's so we can share it, while he only has a 360.
2) We don't pay for Xbox Live anymore.
3) Even if we only had one PS3, and did pay for Xbox Live, we would get them for PS3, because we both like our PS3's more than our 360.

Nope I dont have that problem, Most of my friends Have or will buy a Ps3, nobody I know has a 360 that still works all the 360s I've played with are now broken and their owners jump shipped a long time ago.

I only listen to GS scores, actually. Didn't you know that GS rules the universe? :P

Friends should influence your decisions. Make up your own mind.

Lets see i have couple of friends in real life. The one who games has a wii so yeah.

But most of my friends online have 360's so thats reason i got a 360 over a ps3.

I don't have gamer friends. So sad. D:

Nope none of my friends play online and neither do I for the most part.

you copied my comment thats sad D:

Well friends is one factor but there is some more important factors for choosing your multiplat game:

1- Console reliability. (I went through 4 RRoDs so after that I decided to keep my 360 for exclusives only)

2- Which console got the better version. (Usually I dont care about this since the difference is usually negligible)

3- I buy games which got online MP on the console which I got more friends on. (PS3 for me)

1.) I don't play multiplayer games

2.) I only have one friend

3.) He doesn't like multiplayer games

So no.

imagine that as Sony's marketing campaign.

If you have little to no friends.

You don't have the skill to take on multiplayers

and prefer to watch movies then play games .....the PS3 is for you!

Just kiddding, but seriously I can see why having most of your frineds having the consle version of the game you want to play could heavily sway you.

As for me it's actually that Iuse the PS3 more as a multimedia device then a games machine(Whichit is extremely excellent at doing!!!)that makes me choose to get the Xbox360 version instead along with all the other things like friends, grahics, dlc, live etc....

Almost never do my friends or friendslist influence me. It's my money, I am a lone wolf for the most part. If I do set something up for the future, say RE5 or Army of Two, a Co-Op experience with them, then that's another thing. As far as just following blindly, buying without setting up an engagement date, or something...no, I don't do that. No way. I set the trends in my life, always have, always will.

I was my own clique in High School, that by 2nd year, people were behind me, not the other way around. I've always been a leader type, I was groomed that way since I was a kid.

I do know that the vast majority of people on the planet are not like me at all as far as Bandwagon hopping, and most folks do in fact go with the crowd, so I understand. I've been to Walmart.

Luckily most of my friends game on PC, so I can buy the best version and not feel lonely online.

Real gamers don't need friends.

Yeah I got borderlands on the PS3 because I had way more friends that wanted to play together instead of the PC version. Same with COD4. And pretty much any non PC exclusive title for the most part.

I have more friends that game on consoles than PC and the online pc ones are mostly just old CS buddies.

any multiplat that has multiplayer i buy it on the 360. if its only a singleplayer most of the time on ps3. i only have one rl friend on ps3 and about 10 on 360. so friends does have some influence on it. however not to be mistaken, they dont influence on what game i should buy, only what console to buy it on.
