Kinda the same thing?

Similar, but still distinct. A lot of those weren't marketing in the sense I mean here.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

@MrT-Tar im in the US and there was no tv ads for Heavy Rain and LBP. I went on YOutube to make sure I wasnt crazy. As for Conduit there was ALOT of ads in the states for that. TV, magazines, billboards I had never seen a 3rd party Wii game get that much ad space. I guess it depends on the region you live in. But everything else you say was spot on
