lmao, you think that's clever,

sony has an advertising campaign for MGS4 on the MILITARY CHANNEL! that's like the perfect combonation! most people that watch the military channel are 16-25 and like high-tech military gadgets....and what is MGS4 about.....HIGH TECH MILTARY GADGETS!

aggressive ad campaign without either a price cut or big newly released game = not such a great idea.

If you watch the UFC and MMA in general as much as I do, you'd notice Microsoft has been advertising forever for the male 18-35 range. Even in the old Pride in Japan there were Microsoft ads there.

Yea I saw those commercials but the only one I saw that was advertising the 360 version was GTA IV. Could be that when I saw Hulk I didnt really care enough to see the whole trailer so IDK if it was advertising the 360 version only. To answer ur question, I dont think that it woke MS up, cuz around my way, I always see a bunch of 360 commercials, like I'll say it's a 60-40 split between MS and Sony in terms of commercials. I do agree with u that maybe the launch of MGS4 might make MS more aggressive

 

 

Amen to that...Not sure what there strategy is at this point, but it might be that MS is waiting until the newer chips, since longer term, it will pay bigger dividends.  Those won't have as high a failure rate, they will cost less to produce and right now things aren't in extremus...last week, 360 started to jump back up in sales.

Put the prices like this and the console will sell. Keep 360 arcade price where it is and drop the price of 360 $50 and360elite $75.

Xbox 360 Arcade $279.99
Xbox 360 $299.99
Xbox 360 Elite $374.99

dropping the price just to be number 1 is stupid remember MS is a business and they want to make money MS is doing just fine



Be honest with nobody and lie to your self MGS4 best game EVER on ps3 :?!!!!!!!

Was I the only one who came in here expecting some bizarre lovey-dovey 360 commercial campaign? (That's in reference to the "XOX" in the title =P )
