So i've been playing my switch for a while and i would really like to play some splatoon 2 with my friends, however none of the have the switch. They're all xbox fans. How do i get them to at least be interested?

I have 4 people at my work with a Switch, and more interested.

All it took was seeing me play. Seeing Zelda, seeing Arms, seeing Splatoon 2, seeing Mario Kart, knowing Rocket League and Skyrim and Mario Odyssey and Pokemon and is coming... Even Mario Kingdom Battle got a few people interested.

Switch sells itself. But like the guy above said, stubbornness can be a factor working against that

Go out for the day with your mates and take the Switch with you on the train. Alternatively, you go to the pub, blag the comfiest sofas and get drunk playing games. Feel free to say occasionally "This looks even better on the TV!"

Chinese water torture tends to work too I've heard.

Just take the Switch to their place and let them play your games (assuming they want to). Don't just limit it to Splatoon 2, though. Very few people will buy a system for just 1 game, after all.

1. Take your Switch outside.
2. Let them know about Nintendo Switch.
3. Ask your friends to try Nintendo Switch, make sure you have some interesting games.
4. Show them some Nintendo games that still sold well + more fun than typical nsfw games on xbox. Games doesn't have to be so nsfw to be called perfect, fixed their mindset.
5. Keep persuade them how awesome Nintendo Switch. You can say xbox CANNOT play on the go But Nintendo Switch CAN do it.
6. Keep praying to the God, hopefully someday they changed their mind and wanna play Nintendo Switch by their initiative.

Credit card fraud.

Order it for them using their banking details - when it arrives on their doorstep, they might just keep it instead of calling the police!

Pee on their cereal.
Nothing says better "you should buy a Switch right now" than doing that. If they don't get it after that, there's nothing left to do.

Show off the benefits of the Switch to them by playing some games with them. Either impressive highly praised games like Zelda Breath of the Wild or fun multiplayer games like Splatoon 2 will be good ones to show them.

And if they don't want a Switch or they'd prefer to play on a different console, then that's fine as well. Not everyone is going to share your opinions, and in the end you can't force anyone to buy a Switch.

Sane people do not fraternise with Microsoft supporters. Dump 'em.

Go to your local game store and strike up a conversation with the awkward bearded fella who is discreetly hunting for a Daisy amiibo. He is the kind of friend you seek.

I found something like this.
Some people divided by their mindset.
Some Western people tends to like Western stuffs, Japanese people tends to like Japanese stuffs.

At the same time, some of Western people don't like Japanese stuffs because they think Japanese stuffs like Anime / Manga / Cosplay / Made in Japan = for Freaks / Moron. And vice versa.

If they still never accept Switch existence, it might be there is NO Kind Nature inside their hearts, that means they tends to like nsfw stuffs, sex, swearing, killing, demons, etc that mostly found inside xbox games.

I say what a poor and fool creatures to be a human with NO Sense of Charming, Cutesy, Kindness, that can't accept something Cute, Adorable, Funny like Nintendogs / Miitopia / Girlie games / etc. Living in all nsfw things are just like a Sin Worshipper, a Tainted creatures that don't deserved to be called a Human with a Kindness inside.

Eh... oopsie. Maybe I talked too much. And about Daisy Amiibo, hm... interesting way to detect who is Nintendo lovers.

@Anti-Matter Mate, I think you are generalizing too much and maybe being a bit close minded.

Kind hearted people don't need to like "cutesy" games. There's people that simply prefer violent games because they find them entertaining, allows them to get rid of tension or negative feelings, etc. There are also middle grounds like metroid where games aren't focused on violence, however there's violence involved and little or non-existent adorable aspects about it.

Gaming should be something free of prejudice, and that includes respecting the people that have completely different tastes from ours. As you said, there are many different mindsets and just because there are really different from yours, it doesn't mean by any means that they are bad. A kind person should know this and apply it in his life.

Remember that playing something violent doesn't mean you apply violence on your life, just like playing a Mario game doesn't mean you are eating mushrooms and jumping over turtles, althought I can see that if you do try to apply the mushroom power ups in real life it will probably lead you to be a turtle killer...

Seriously though, playing video games is a way of entertainment and nothing more. Our behaviour and actions are what define the kind of human beings we are, nothing else.

I would personally set up a photo shoot of me playing the Switch surrounded by attractive people, preferably scantily clad, and then get these advertised in publications or websites they read with the implicaton that playing on the Switch will improve their social standing and love life.

If that is a little expensive and time consuming, I would do as others have said. I would play it loads near them, don't try and ask them to play but just show that you are in your own world and having awesome fun. Almost ignore them. No one in the world can resist some curiosity when they are being ignored and someone else appears to be having fun. Then casually say, nah just playing this shooter on Switch, pretty awesome then carry on with the game.

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

Hm... good advice.
Maybe I will try to promote my Nintendo Switch to public once I got one.

Ah... I see.
Btw, I have ever found something interesting about gaming.
There are two groups of gamers : Normal and Unusual.
Normal (typical Adult male gamers) tends to like Serious design, Less Colorful (Black, White, Adult colors), Realistic, Mainstream genre. While the Unusual (Quirky gamers) did the Opposite. They tends to like More Cartoonish than Realistic, Something Funny & Hillarious, Colorful and Fancy design, etc.
I don't remember the website address that I found, but it was interesting to know, and I was categorized as a Quirky gamer based on my taste and attitude toward gaming.

Can't agree with @roy130390 enough, @Anti-Matter, I hope you don't mind me mentioning that I often notice you disparage people who enjoy more heavily age-rated entertainments (ironic considering your avatar's depiction of a violent sport in an [arguably] infantilised representation) - and find such exclusiveness a little demeaning.

Trying to classify between 'normal' and 'quirky' gamers, for example, reeks of elitism... There are many different types of players out there and you might be surprised how difficult it is to pigeon-hole them as part of the mainstream, whilst you sit within a 'special' bracket of your own.

This ties into the thread's topic which is basically to let people like what they like. If demonstrating the fun of Splatoon to your friends doesn't seem to catch their interests then I'd warn against being 'that person' that uses every opportunity to promote their particular interest. You'll be more likely to irritate than not.
