Of course not. Attack ads only work in a very limited context, and with Sony and Microsoft in the position they are in, they would most likely backfire. The kind of consumers that really want a Wii are the kind of consumers who wouldn't be playing any console otherwise. Attack ads would simply make those people more opposed to buying another console.
