I believe it was advertised more than enough here in UK and most likely mainland Europe(Probably the same could be said for US) when the game came out there were MANY adverts for it, as well as "exclusive bundle" which was just pretty much slim with a HR for similar price to the RRP of just a console, I know, because I watched TV all the time and it came on more than enough. It's just, no matter how people want to admit it or not, the PS3 userbase is not that much diverse from 360, they want shooters, racers, RPG's all the same, and gems like these get overlooked, regardless if it's your beloved console or anything else. Although I agree.. It was nice to experience it since I was skeptical about trying it in the first place as I was more tempted by UC and KZ more than anything, and HR seemed boring from the distance, good thing I took a plunge and got it. |
I mean real marketing. When Microsoft markets they put what they've got in your face. They dont just make commercials like Sony. Microsoft goes on Jay Leno for Gears and Halo and Kinect, the news, department stores everywhere. Sony has never done that. This is why North America is carrying the 360 on its back. Even though Sony sells impressively, they could have stellar sales if their marketing was up to par with Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't have as much, but what they do have they put in your face so you cant look away from it.
No ones denying the PS3 and 360 userbase aren't similar. Half of Microsofts userbase is Sony's PS2 userbase who saw Microsoft as a cheaper alternative. Now that Microsoft has taken so many third party titles from Sony to make themselves seem indistinguishable Sony has gotten stronger on a first party front. They've always been strong, but now they are stronger than ever. Sony and Nintendo will walk into next gen with launch titles for sure. Microsoft....well...lol.
