That was actually very good, better than any one I've seen for the PS4.

That Microsoft commercial was great, are you sure your not an Xbox one fan Op?
U practically almost sold me one with your advertising

The poster didnt even get the X1 commercial right. There isnt racing in it like the PS4 advertisement. There is a car getting passed by a SuperCar that then opens up to invite the person in the mundane beater to drive.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I doubt its a world wide add I never saw a add on US tv where the people in it talked with a britsh accent.  Also FIFA isn't really a big deal in the US another reason they wouldn't show that add in the US a add made for the US market would feature Madden or the fantasy football intigration on the X1.

No matter what side you're on, Sony is the king of commercials and that goes all the way back to the 90's. Kevin Butler pretty much brought the PS3 back to life by himself.

The general consensus on the net is that Microsoft is far better at marketing.


Clearly you either don't remember the PS1/PS2 days, or your biased because NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING was hyped and advertised as well as the PS2 leading up to it's launch. Everyone and their unborn child knew what it was and wanted one.

Plus, like I said...Kevin Butler. Dude was so amazing, his character even made it to an E3 presentation.

Can you link me to one of these awesome PS2 ads?  I was going crazy trying to get a PS2 on day one and couldn't because it was so in demand but, for the life of me, I can't remember any PS2 ad ever being on TV except for an obscure Playstation 9 ( I think that was the number) ad during pro wrestling.  If I recall, the PS2's launch was hyped by the gaming community, demo consoles, and magazines at the time.

No look flaming cross bow shot.

who would have thought that marketing two gaming consoles, that want to appeal to the same audience and are close in price would have similar marketing strategies.

I'm a Nintendo fan and I find the Xbox One commercial brilliantly brilliant. Especially that ordinary people are invited, not some hyper bro dudebros.

Wish Nintendo had those :) (commercials, of course, not dudebros)

I'm pretty sure that's a Playstation 3 ad and not a Playstation 2 ad.  Then again, I am pretty drunk right now.

That was a pretty good ad :)

Not a fan of the X1 ad, it gets better towards the end when they start showing game but that PS4 ad is bad.
