You guys always complain about how Sony doesn't market it's games and when they do you say it's a waste of money. What do you guys want? |
"you guys". Dont group me with others when you dont know what i think.
Sony makes pretty good advertisement here in europe by sponsoring the champions league. That is very smart sponsoring.
One commercial over one game i dont think is good advertisement. Its a freaking cannon shot. It will hit some people you want to hit and alot that you dont necessarely do. It would be money better spend if you get your target more times, than audiences that dont care about you. If they sponsored the NFL for example (would be pricier but more effective), it would be money better spent. Just one commercial for astronomical values is not a good plan when you can have 10 for less that hit the target audience you want more effectively.
Also, its God of War, it hardly needs advertisment.
I am guessing these guys you're talking about are saying Sony's last year releases needed better advertisment. I dont think that would help at all. Things like little big planet are fads that are funny once but dont make for a steady franchise people want. playstation all star was a rip off of smash brothers, no once looks at that with good eyes. Last year flops were due to theme choices, not due to bad advertisment. The games just didnt resonate with enough people.
