I was actually waiting to see ads for it, didn't see a single one. I've seen the PS Vita / Black Ops: Declassified one about a hundred times, but not this one.

What channels was it shown on?

I never saw an advert for PSASBR in the UK once, tons for Wonderbook though.

Oh and I think it totally will sell a million. I mean even if you don't count digital download copies it's on two freaking systems... and probably at some point will be bundled.

I mean... it will probably have to drag itself there with one hand... but I can't see it not making it unless the game is somehow over tracked.

I said I don't watch many channels.  Not that I don't watch much TV.  I could list all the channels with adverts that I watch, if you want, and we can compare them with the channels that you/your daughter watch that you were seeing these ads on "a lot".  But I find it hard to believe that Sony would buy ad time for Vita/Wonderbook on Channel 4/E4/5*/Dave, and then target a completely different demographic with Playstation-All Stars. 

Brendude and apparently now Degausser haven't seen a single advert in the UK either, apparently, so we're definitely not in the minority here.

I think that's just a lack of knowledge on the poster.  Richardhutnik is many things, but he doesn't actually dislike any company.  He DOES however make his own boardgames and such and therefore is particularly interested in why things sell and don't sell.

As for the Wii U.  That's just a boring ass thread because all it boils down to is "There was never enough supply at launch."  So "overestimated supply" is about as far as you'd get in that thread.

That's the thing... a lot of people don't think there are advertising for these games just because they don't tend to watch the kind of programming videogame developers advertise on.

Spike TV, Sports games... that's where 360 and  Sony target.   Reason is, they're trying to reach the "Bro Gamer".   Cause all the internet fans... already know about this game from the internet.  What do you or I need advertisements for?

Of course the problem is... to the "Bro Gamer" this kind of mascot brawler really holds little interest.  Since they probably loved Uncharted but don't even really remember Nathan Drake's name.  If anythin a more serious type Mascot brawler would likely sell better... ala Mortal Kombat vs DC.

I'm glad we finally agree.

I don't believe you did either.  Took some convincing, but we got you there.

Ok, enough bickering about how much advertising there was or wasn't. I'm sure the advertising budget will come out at some point in time... and besides, there are people without agendas(or even reversed agendas) who actually saw plenty of advertising.

Chances are, you just weren't watching the right channels at the right times. That's how advertising works.

Oh noes, WHATEVER WILL WE DO!?  

In all seriousness though, enough, Kowen.  Over the holidays, I watched a lot of TV on ITV1/C4/C5, ITV2/E4/5*, Sky Sports News/Challenge/Dave.  These channels were absolutely littered with adverts for Vita, Wonderbook & "family fun" (as in, at least 1 for each per ad-break) and I did not see PSABR advert a single time.  Not even once.

If you watched different channels to these with your daughter, and it was shown "a lot", then whatever, I believe you.  I find it strange that Sony would target the demographic who watch the same channels as me with all their adverts except one, but there you go.
