In Germany you could think Fifa is only on Playstation. And I didn't say it's new in any way. But it's bad, in my opinion as this is intentionally deceiving customers (and yes, both MS and Sony do that, I am aware of this).

That is up to the company paying for the adverts though. These FIFA 14 adverts (and in turn presumably the Sony one's in Germany) are paid for by MS (or Sony).

I mean you even get adverts that end with 'Available at GAME' or even 'Asda' or something, in other words that company paid for the advert not the publisher. Decieving? Maybe, but good business for the publisher.

Maybe? This is definitely deceiving and in my opinion such advertising is way more worth than buying DLC for a game. TV ads reach millions of people who are not well informed like we are. With these deceiving ads you can easily make people decide for a specific platform.
