showcasing a game on a show that caters to an audience that are interested in the topic - makes no difference? yeah ok Kowen, I see the logic there, pretty smart and clever of ya ;)

 

btw why do anyone market or advertise anything? Going by his definition it's a waste of money and his customers will agree


What!?    So now its a "showcase" on Top Gear?  if they even mention it it wont be a one hour special going into detail...lol

They might have a bit of fun with it for a 3 or 4 minutes.. tops!   and I maintain that the demographic of top gear (in the UK at any rate is very diverse and not at all just young adult males, its a light entertainment program now pretty much)

Anyway I shall leave it now.. its clear that saying anything to detract (however tenuous) from the holy grail of gaming is not allowed on this forum. 

No one sensible is suggesting it'll be an hour-long feature rather than a quick piece for a few minutes. However you cut it, though, a few minutes of primetime is still going to be a boon for UK sales - especially as Clarkson and co. will doubtless wax lyrical about it.

Your attempt at playing up the entertainment value of the programme, and subsequently the diversity of the audience is also a waste of time; the show is still predominantly watched by males, and the lion's share of that is the 18-35 age range that is so congruous with the PS3's install base.

You should also check up the definition of 'tenuous', since you basically just described your contributions in this thread as "having little substance". How embarrassing.
