I wouldn't say I'm 'loyal' to the Playstation series but it's by far my most preferred of the consoles and is always my go-to for cross platform purchases.

I own PS5, Series X and a Switch and have owned each of Sony and Microsofts consoles from each of the last 3 generations but my 'loyalty' is always towards Playstation first.

I just find the user interface to be easier to navigate, the quality and number of exclusive i want to play being more prominent in the Sony console and Trophies are far more addictive than Achievements. Theres just a little buzz to seeing Gold and the might Platinum trophies unlocking, more so than seeing 50G or even 100G popping on the Xbox.

Im not saying its perfect and theres a number of exclusives (eg Gears series, Forza, Halo) I really enjoy and Game Pass is generally a better service than PS Plus but if I had to ditch one and never play it again, I'd ditch Microsoft consoles!

I am not a fan of change. So I'm very loyal conservative to a set of brands.

I prefer to stick with what I know, even if it means missing out on new features or better products. For example, I have a Samsung phone and I am hesitant to switch to another brand because I am familiar with the Samsung interface and I am afraid of having to learn a new one. The same goes for TVs. I am considering buying a Samsung TV because it will connect to my phone and have the same menus as my old one. I do not like reading manuals or exploring settings, so I prefer to stay with what I know.

yes i am in a weird way.

I'm not really overly bothered about mobile phones but when xiaomi first started introducing their phones into the uk market they caught my eye.

They appeared to be offering everything a Samsung or similar phone offered at around half the price.

The problem was i had heard of cheap Chinese phones but these were the real deal. and as everyone knows they are a reputable brand. and who cares if they contain spyware. spy away, my life isn't that interesting.

What then happened is that more Chinese manufacturers became more mainstream such as OPPO but the prices of these phones increased but xiaomi stayed low.

So i have followed the Redmi note series of phones with my latest phone being the redmi note 12 5g which set me back £79 . Its snappy , fast , 5g , NFC and everything you could want for a midrange phone. dual sim so it holds my work and personal sim.

its no biggy if i break it and if it last the two years i will be buying the redmi note 14 or 15... which brings upgrades each time i do it.

I'm probably not loyal to any specific tech brand. I prefer practical and functional over labels and brands. Sometimes it might look like loyalty as long as a particular maker meets my needs.

As a DIYer, tinkerer, and advocate of right-to-repair laws:

  • I prefer companies that use screws over plastic latches and glue.

  • I favor open-source software and modability over proprietary, hidden black boxes.

For example, companies like Apple are out of my scope. Even if I like some of their products aesthetically, their ecosystem is too locked down for my taste. I value the ability to repair, modify, and customize my devices, which significantly influences my buying decisions.
