| Soundwave said: Sony/MS don't need to counteract smartphone marketing as much though because it doesn't cut into their demographics. A COD or Destiny player might play Clash of Clans sure, but not at the expense of their hardcore gaming fix on the PS4/X1. Nintendo? Doesn't have that luxury. And there's nothing stopping Nintendo from affording Kate Upton, in fact I suggested hiring someone like her a while ago, but lo and behold that smartphone game that no one knew about like two weeks ago is now trending big time because of that TV spot. |
I don't think you understand that throwing money at something blindly just doesn't work in console gaming advertisement...Who is to say that Nintendo buying an ad with Kate Upton would increase sales enough to pay for itself (even moreso when that ad is a super bowl ad)? Console games don't sell the same way as mobile games do...the audience is skewed much more strongly towards people who don't need tv spots then the mobile market
