Plus the content of ads is also important. The Monster Hunter Tri ads are funny, but they don't really give the feeling that you are on an epic quest (regardless of the exact nature of the quest). Compare that to Final Fantasy ads which make the games look like the most epic things ever, even though those are FMV only scenes (Why couldn't we do the rail grinding in Final Fantasy X? It's not as though it can't be done in a game. See Ratched & Clank.).
So I saw some Conduit ads after the fact, and they wouldn't have been that impressive even if the game were on the HD systems. They just looked generic.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
