yes they can since the advert is ruining the image of the company product on very weak if next to nothing information. the advert could have used any controller or even made a fake 1 but they didnt. legally they have made a very harsh and bold statement, if they go to court they have to prove video games are directly linked to death! all sony needs to do is give stats to show how many ps owners have died from actually playing their console.
the advertisement company will also have to justify without discriminating a certain company why they used that prop and didnt think it through. it is commonsense, even well known programmes like Simpsons use fake brands!
this advert may also bring devs etc together and give a big FU to those responsible for the advert.
bottom line is, presidents, prime ministers, celebs, hospitals, cancer research (ps3 folding at home) facilities, airlines, gyms (dance mats and wii sports etc) promote/ accept/ back these games and consoles, the company wont have a leg to stand on.
