Jesus? Best ending possible I think, first go, no guides haha. Awesome gameeeee, absolute system seller right there, even though it's sales are not that massive, highly recommended! |
A lot of Sonys games have the potential to be system sellers but because of their marketing strategies it always ends up just being a beloved franchise that most never knew about. I don't care as long as I get to experience it.

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.

Trust me, it really is. The advertising is just as bad in both cases, I saw a fucking heavy rain advert on a childrens channel that my brother was watching. The common "Sony advertising sucks" is just a myth, it's just as common and just as strong as MS, the only one which does generally stand out even more is Nintendo during the holiday season other than that, everyone advertises practically equally throughout the year.
Uncharted posters and most of the "bigger" exclusive on busses/stops/shops/signs/television. Everywhere.
