I'm just busting your chops a little, please don't take offense.

I think that people often use the argument that $500 million is magnitudes more than Sony spent and yet Sony has never said how much they have/will spend.  All they have said (to my knowledge) is that they wouldn't outspend Microsoft.  Well, that could be $475 million...

For anecdotal evidence, I'll be perfectly honest, all I reallly watch on TV is sports (football and basketball right now) and I've maybe seen 1.5 kinect commercials to move commercials.  More than Move?  Sure.  SIGNIFICANTLY more?  No.

But I don't want to de-rail the thread anymore, and I'm really not trying to insult you, just giving a little food for thought.

As always that's an example that means nothing. That may sound stupid but you may have missed alot of Kinect's ad. (no way Move have more ads than Kinect). And you're forgetting others way of promoting a product, where Kinect >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Move. Be reasonable please, 500M $ compared to few M are not comparable.

HAHA, you are making a couple of serious flaws in your argument, are you sure you want to continue?

Allow me to enumerate:

  1. I agree anecdotal evidence is relatively worthless.  So where's your proof that your viewing experience (ahem...which is ALSO anecdotal) is more accurate then mine?  Links please.
  2. Where do you get a few million from?  Link me where you have Move's advertising budget please.

I'm not even arguing that Move has sold poorly, nor am I stating that Kinect has sold incredibly well.  I'm only stating that the "advertising argument" that is thrown around here like gospel is NOT to my knowledge verifiable. 

SO, let me ask you a direct question then, you have no idea how much Sony spent on Move advertising, do you? 

Prove me wrong, show me hard numbers and a link to prove it and I'll concede, no problem.
