Alright I'll bite.
1. Sony got The Order 1886 exclusive and they're going to be heavily marketing Destiny as a PS4 game. They'll probably have a Destiny bundle when the game comes out.
I cannot wait for the Order myself, but it isn't multiplayer and Destiny is not coming out until September and Microsoft has Titanfall in March. You do the math on the hype. Everyone has been betting on the wrong horse this gen for specific things. EA thought Microsoft would outsell Sony and succeed with DRM and Activision and Sony think Destiny will be the top shooter of the gen and yet Titanfall has destroyed hype expectations.
Just because TItanfall is hyped doesn't mean Destiny won't be big. It'll have a lot more exposure since it will be on more consoles. A Destiny bundle will be huge for PS4 this holiday, just like the GTAV bundle was huge for PS3 last year.
2. Sony's marketing has been fantastic for the PS4. The Perfect Day commercial gets everyone talking. Microsoft on the other hand has been rather bland and generic with their marketing.
Not saying it hasn't been great. I am saying they could learn some things from Microsoft. As I said before Microsoft launches better, but Sony is the better long term investment in my eyes.
None of the XBO commercials get people talking like the Perfect Day one. I think Sony's knocked it out of the park with marketing this gen. And they didn't even have Kevin Butler to help them.
3. The XBO launch event was a complete catastrophe. No thanks.
No...actually no it it wasn't. It was far more lively than Sony's lounge launch.
Agree to disagree then, I though the XBO launch was a disaster, cringeworthy on all counts.
4. Increased advertising? Sure I agree. But more ads isn't always the right choice. Microsoft spent billions advertising Windows Phones yet it hasn't done much good. I'm one of like 3 people that actually owns one.
Windows Phones suck outside of their cameras. You cant mainuplate people into buying something thats worse than Samsung and the Iphone. Essentially Sony and Microsoft are the Samsung and Iphone of the gaming industry. Think about that.
I like Windows Phones... But my point was that more ads isn't always going to help sell more products. Especially if the marketing campaign isn't that great to begin with.
5. Not sure your point here, Infamous comes out in March, Driveclub in the summer, The Order in the fall, and Uncharted in the holidays. They've got a steady stream of games coming all year.
Uncharted is not coming out this year, but Sony will have more hot exclusives out this year. I'll give you that.
We don't know that, Uncharted 4 has been in development for 3 years, it could easily be a holiday title since The Order is coming out in the fall.
