GT has always gotten plenty marketing.  It deserves it just liek Halo cause its a huge seller fanboys like you foolishly expect Sony to give a title that is projected to do 1.5/2 million a HAlo like ad budget which is utterly ignorant.

 

And Sony has "always" had plenty of funds available to do so.  Sony, and the Playstation brand, are not in the same position they have been in the previous generations.    It might deserve it, just like plenty of other great PS3 games that have come out so far have deserved it, but that doesn't guarantee it will happen.  All I was saying is that Sony has done a poor job marketing their big titles this generation and Microsoft has done a much better job with their titles (first party, third party and multi-platform), which is fact. 

Can you understand GT is a sure seller ? it gets a huge ad budget becasue it makes back the money its a no risk situation.  GT5p probably took care of much of that already its that simple.  GT is a sound investment that always pays of for them, its a +1 billion dollar franchise.

Just what big title did Sony have to market this gen? not a single one of then is even 1/3rd the selling capability of GT5.  Dude you don't spend 50m advertising somethign projected to sale 1.5 million life time, that would be moranic.

As far as GT5 marketing it will be same levels liek before thaough all of you will never see half of it, you don't read car mags go to car shows or partake in the automotice culture.  GT5 will get a load of markleting your eyes will never see, its targeted specificaly on the car enthusiast.

 

Actually, I do.  I have never seen one promo for GT5 at any of my local or state wide events.  And come to think of it, I haven't noticed any for GT5 at nationals either.
