If you can't beat 'em, bash 'em.

2011 Sales...

PS3 - 5,979,454
Wii - 5,270,779
360 - 5,181,865

They're beatin' and bashin'

OT:
This thread has shown me just how serious videogames are.

I liked the video and didn't read too much into it. I watched them introduce a new marketting campaign and show off a load of awesome looking videogames. Cool.

i dont really like the ad or KB the only one i liked was the pew pew one

its like the posts above me say it doesnt really make a non owner want one and took awhile to get to the meat of it, i dont like KB in the ads not personally but i dont think there should be a face in the ads, i dont like him b/c it doesnt really portray the hardcore ps3 gamers with his humor and casualness

i like the early PS3 ads from 06-07 and most all the ps1 and 2 ones, back then there where alot cause sony had alot of 3rd party exclusives

in the end its good that atleast these KB ads have the PRAY-STAY-SHON bite at the end, dont think they used that since ps1 days, i like that...oldschool

I don't really think the ad is aimed at the mainstream audience..as in, not for tv

this thread mirrors my exact reasons for becoming inactive on this site... pity how shallow some people are...

How many times has KB insulted the compition? Twice? Both viral ads to build hype...

Forrest spirit you were most likely not wanting to buy a ps3 anyway and these ads probablly have little effect on this...


Time for me to become inactive again...

Wow, i don't understand why people get all worked up on an advert.
its an advert, why are you so "excited" about it?
its an advert, why are you so "butthurt" about it?

Lol, pretty good vid. Always found KB funny. Though, at the end when he lit the sign on fire, you have heard someone scream "Oh My Dear Lord, No!!"

And LMAO at the haters. Who gets all worked up over a commercial just because its not from your console maker of choice? Insecure much?

KB never specifically insulted any specific group with that statement. If you think he targeted Kinect, Wii, or casual games in general. Perhaps that's your own opinion of them but you're in denial over it.

It was just a joke and I don't believe it was targeted at anyone.


"Listen up, I'm not coming back to the industry to sell some watered down, get-grandma-off-the-couch weak-sauce".

Exactly who else could that be aimed at?? It's you in denial. A) Get off the coach (Wii, Kinect, heck even move, but then they're not gonna slate there own product) B) Grandma aka casual gamer. The evidence is all there.

And yeah it's just a joke, never said it wasn't, just pointing out the flaws. This is what I mean about insecure.

That, and his leaving Sony a bit, does announce a transitioning to a new ad campaign.  Butler will be focusing on core gaming at this point, as was seen by the montage.  Butler is actually the best ambassador for that demographic.

I will say... "Economy Flooring" FTW!  That is awesome.  Butler also takes a shot at the economy.
