@WoW: Ehh... Were you just trying to validate my points or argue against? I think you just wanted to argue for the sake of argument, as usual.
I didn's say Segas ads weren't effective, after all, they were very much targeted at the core audience that time and with the "headstart" Sega had with Megadrive, it really was able to gain ground by being aggressive right from the start. But the biggest reason for Segas success that gen was Sonic.
They do respond to ads like that. But the issue is, that the segment of the market that responds, is already dominated by the instances that are in question in the OP. Basically Nintendo would benefit the most within the segment, if it would start making ads that calls PS360 as systems from history for crippled fat nerds, for example.
Well, Sega exited the hardware market and Nintendo didn't. And i'm not that interested in explaining all my jokes.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
