Hopefully, SONY markets all their exclusives like they did The Last of Us. I actually saw commercials for it during the NBA Finals.

They actually market their big stuff. I saw commercials for LBP, Killzone, Uncharted, TLOU, Gran Turismo, and God of War. Makes sense, right? Those all sell well. Mainly Heavy Rain, in the US, sold on word-of-mouth alone.  

They didn't market Twisted Metal, Battle Royale, nor Starhawk. So, it seemed like reviews hurt those, when in reality, barely anyone knew they out. People also forget how much of a marketing monster Sony was with the PS1 and PS2. The PS3 will always go down as the "bad boy" of the PlayStation kids, while all the others (PS1/2/4) will be seen as conservative, respectful goody-goodies!  

Really? What channel(s) did you see those advertisements on? I never saw them.
