Microsoft was ranked number one by Millennials and Boomers, number two by Gen Xers. Apple was ranked third by Millennials and Gen Xers, fifth by Boomers.

I couldn't be any happier with my wii u, they still revolutionize the way we play on consoles, Xcox is the same shit and ps4 only changed by graphics and controller.

Apple easily can't compete with thieves, it's obvious who makes themselves useless.

The survey uses the weak lightly coloured Apple Logo not the strong Black & White far more recognizable logo. Plus, men are far more considerate when making decisions that involve family and his spouse compared to woman. :)

Seriously? In what universe could this be even remotely accurate? This smells like a Microsoft financed survey or perhaps they gave each survey participant a Surface Pro because god knows the only way Microsoft is ever going to increase their tablet market share is by giving their product away for free!
