| Adinnieken said: The intention of the commercial is to get the consumer to say, "What is this?" Theyy are better served by a curious customer, rather than saying "This is the Xbox One!", because then the follow-up question is what is an Xbox One? And depending on who answers, their response is going to be "A video game console.", which isn't how Microsoft wants to pitch the console the demographic. I think they'll probably follow-up this ad with a TV specific one, and then a Skype specific one. Then, on certain channels you'll see gaming specific advertisements. Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Nick Toons, Comedy Central, etc. Channels geared toward the 13-24 male demographic. |
Yes, it is a video game console, but it is also many other things. I would show the other Kinect features too, like being able to speak and have it mute, pause, or increase/decrease the volume.
Skyping with Grandma. How it adjust to bring in new family members into the view.
Working out, switching to Sesame Street Kinect when the kids get home. Family playing with Zoo Tycoo Kinect.
So many options! I kinda wish I was on the advertising team sometimes.
