FINALLY some good ads from Sony....it's been a long time. I think the song for that ad was just perfect for its message. But sadly, I also have to agree with Bodhesatva, that the commercial, while great and excellent, still isolated Sony from the biggest consumers of video games, the casuals and non-gamers. Despite the fact that gamers who play more games in real life than its healthy for them, the L337 gamers, and therefore buy more games, they don't buy more consoles. It's usually one console per gamer. And while it's great to advertise to the group who buy a lot of games for their favorite console, a) they already bought and love the console, so you don't need to make them any happier, and b) there is only so much money one hardcore gamer can actually spend to play games. The other customers Sony use to attract are still either playing the PS2 or trying to get a Wii or are playing their 360. So while I'm glad Sony is finally making their kick-ass commercials instead of using creepy babies (really, who the hell thought that was a good idea?!), I'm just concerned that Sony is slowly trying to become Microsoft when it comes to the views it has in providing games, when in fact what Sony has done for the PS1 and PS2 was the very thing they should have done for the PS3.
