Forums - Sony Discussion - New PS4 Ad Airs During Monday Night Football

Ps4... it only does upsetting people because others enjoyed a advertisement. LOL



Around the Network

It was a good commercial, but I wonder how many people will get the references. This is something that belongs on the internet- like on youtube- rather than on Monday Night Football.

They should've also probably written out "PlayStation 4" or at least said it, rather than just use the logo. And it wouldn't have hurt to actually have shown the product being advertised. For someone who might not know a lot about gaming- a casual gamer/football fanatic - this is pretty meh. But for a gamer - it's very cool. I'm really liking the new advertising team Sony has.

Who are we advertising to in this commercial?  It had references to Killzone, Driveclub, and what appeared to be Skyrim.  This is appealing to the same people who journey the internet on a daily basis.  The general audience aka average joe that does not know about the PS4 still doesnt with this commercial.


I agree, the taco bell commerical is more effective.  So is the xbox one nfl commercial.

hmm interesting that i did enjoy the commercial, but i also think it is a poor advertisement that is more confusing than giving reason to buy. It certainly isnt showing what "matters"

Then again i prefer not to over-hype every little thing i see

I didn't say you didn't enjoy the commercial nor did I it's what is needed.

But I ask you... Ps4 has over a million pre-orders and many people who are interested didn't get one fast enough... why do you think the advertisment needs to give a reason to buy a ps4 when it will sell out this holiday.

As stated before the people who understand the commercial knows about the PS4 by now.  

This works one of two ways.  Specifically target gamers, both gamers who like other consoles and casual gamers(Not just sony fans) and give them a reason to buy it.  There was no reason in this ad.  Just guys singing and humor with the word PS4 at the end.

Or target everybody with an entertainment pitch and give them a reason to buy the PS4.

The problem here is that it gave neither group a reason to buy it.




       

THATS how you market a console. 

Nintendo, take notes.

No one outside of the hardcore gamers will know what the fuck driveclub or Elder Scrolls Online or Killzone etc are..and for them it doesn't matter, they already have seen the gameplay. Not like Sony has been shy about showing gameplay for their launch titles

Oooh catchy tune..weird and funny ad...oh it's for the PS4 and it's coming out so soon.

It's not rocket science...it's just simply smart marketing.

Once again you avoid everything i asked.  I see you are just wasting my time by quoting me to come back in here.



Really? That's what going on here? Could have sworn it was something completely different. Don't like my hyping something, don't respond.
