GT5 commercial advertising hasn't started yet, anywhere in the world.

 

But it has. The game shops have posters in the windows. The websites have been running campaigns for sometime. They have done adverts on the special edition of the game. And i imagine in the next few weeks they will start with the GT5 PS3 bundle ads on tv.
This is GT5 were talking about, not some unknown game. It was meant to be released in 2007. Everyone knows about the game.

Sony obviously will not compete with Microsoft in terms of advertising. MS are masters at it but more importantly throw mega millions at it.

Also i thought i would point out that in UK at least the various pre-order charts don't have GT5 doing much better.
