Simply put the Xbox brand is now bigger than the playstation brand in the US. For that to happen so quickly shows that ms played a blinder and Sony dropped the ball. . . Indeed they dropped it repeatedly. |
for now!
the only things stepping in playstations way is cod timed dlc (can be changed) gears of war (can go to playstation) and halo
but nobody owns the states and it's really gonna be up to who make's the best console next gen but ps3 will no doubt kill every console in sales when the ps4/720 are out

Oh Kowenicki, Classy as always, after all these years you are still here doing that same thing, you are doing,i think its about time to get over it, you know what i'm talking about.
Sony didn't drop the ball, they haven't abandoned their fanbase, none of them did, MS is the one who dropped the cash. heavy marketing always pays off.

see sony spends around the same as microsft marketing all there games but the problem is sony has so many exclusive's they have to market them smaller to fit in a budget, having to many exclusive's is really a curse uncharted 3 is the only game that will get the top treatment

erm, No , they don't , i've not seen a single advert where i live about any Playstation game, but i saw a lot of Kinect adverts and HUGE halo ones, and i think some gears, i think the least game they're advertising here is Fable.
but Sony, no , not a single game, not even GT.

that's because most of there commercials are on spike tv
anyways in australia i see no xbox commercials here ive seen 9 fifa 12 ps3 bundle commercials on primetime the past 2 days on australia's highest rated tv channels
I always thought it obvious that the xbox brand will dominate NA and eventually uproot the japanese brands. The wii did the unexpected this gen but by next gen that too will be considered a "failure" in NA.
Everyone is quick to point out the the Japanese are "zenophobic" and hates the american xbox but turns a deliberate blind eye to the fact that an American console dominates America for the same reason.
I am not forgeting that it is games that make Japanese buy japanese and xbox is catered for americans but if you think that is the full story you are naive.
The next gen will be Xbox all over the others in NA.... if they American consumer have any money to buy it then.
it's just different countries really i think kevin butler should only promote ps3 commercials but not the games.. it's not very effective and they need to put it on higher rated tv shows! put an uncharted 3 commercial on two and a half men that will gain sales!!
it works over here! xbox only markets small here like nickelodeon but nick only gets 30k viewers in australia since our country only has 22 million people so that wont do much, but sony has been advertising modern warfare 3, uncharted 3, and fifa 12 ps3 bundle all on sporting games and two and half premiers here which get's over 2.5million viewers that's why the ps3 is booming over here alot more, this should be enough evidence to get sony to market the ps3 more in america..
