But some of the game commercials are too abstract and borderline weird. They don't show much gameplay and when they do it's on the side of a building or in some manner where u can barely see the game. I mean literally some off-the-wall concepts that won't appeal to most people. |
Its interesting to see the difference in approach to how Nintendo and Sony are marketing their products ... Neither focuses too heavily on the actual game, but Nintendo seems to focus their marketing on how people are having fun with the Wii while Sony seems to focus on the Wii being some sort of mysterious and cool product.
The mysterious product angle works if you peak people's interest, but (in my opinion) that approach could never work with the PS3 because everyone knows what a Playstation is and there really is no mystery about what a PS3 is.
