Forums - Sony Discussion - the lack of GT5 advertisment could be caused of GT5 deley again

Who here thinks the seriously lack of GT5 marketing is probly sony planning another GT5 deley announcment last few weeks or day before release??

think about it its their biggest franchise yet we havn't seen jack shit on TV about it LOL plus there is a recent rumour that its deley so it might actually happen.

 

what do you guys think?

because they dont advertise so far out from the games release 

when the games release yes advertising, why waste money now when you can spend it post launch so you get impluse buying where they see the add and run to the store and buy it. Not Ohh not for a few weeks, forget.

Delay i doubt it, maybe in a small country or something but it seem full systems go.

remember post release advertising will happen, you will see ads for GT5 though out November and December if you live in Europe, in the US maybe maybe not.



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

they advertised Uncharted2,mod nation,Heavy rain before release why not GT5 their biggest franchise???



because i believe they have a budget and they have 2 months of heavy advertising , they need to savour that money and spend it wise not blow it all before launch, SONY does have a few billion to advertise everywhere.

You're kidding right ? That would be the stupidest thing to do...

Saleswise, the impact of advertising is higher ahead releasing the game ! Afterwards it's reviews word of mouth and a few spots on specific weeks (black friday - Xmas - etc.)

Well I just saw an ad on IGN stating it will come out November 4th.



hope not...not even a GT fan but I feel sorry for those who are, i'm a Sony fan but: shame on you Sony!!!



Like in the other thread. I dont think the will and the source laughable at best.

That been said i think they should start advertising within like a few days befor the game comes out. People will get excited and befor they get the chance to forget about it bam the game is on shelves.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!
