Because Sony sucks at advertising.  In the UK, I can't remember seeing a single PS3 advert.  And those Kevin Butler Ads are only in the US.

Then you must watch Tv with your eyes closed with ear plugs, Because i still see heavy rain ones, i remeber the uncharted ones, seen some about sega racing

I certainly don't remember seeing HR or UC2 adverts, which either means I didn't see them or they were pretty forgettable (either way that's not very good).

I certainly DO remember seeing Sonic and Sega Allstars racing adverts, BUT that it a multi-platform release advertised by SEGA, so It doesn't count (plus the game sucks balls)

heed, HR and UC2 adverts have been showing like crazy here in the UK, and thank GOD the EyePet ones have stopped showing, that was on way too frequent and was annoying...

Sony should just present the PS eye does the same thing as Natal. Show it doing the same things. It won't do them as well, or even have the full function of Natal. However it can LOOK like it does, they could show it controlling the XMB and whatnot. No casual is going to know the difference between Natal and the PSEye, so it could easily negate MS' marketing for Natal.

Then the move would look like something extra.

I think if they tried to do this they would either be hit by major lawsuits for giving a misconception of the hardware, or it would start some crazy back and forth smear campaign of ads where MS pokes at all of PS Eye's/Moves lacking spots and Sony pokes at Natal's lacking spots.

Either way I say just keep it civil and try to make the best commercials that show off YOUR product, not slander the other one.  That's the main reason I hate Apple ads.  Rather than highlight OS X features, they simply attack and attack and attack Windows issues until they make them seem 1000x worse than they really are.

Nah I just meant by showing demos of the PS eye, because you can use the PS eye to play pretty much all of Natal's demos. It'd be M$ fault for not taking advantage of the additional dimension there hardware provides.
