Sega had the best commercials, hands down.

The ones when the folks scream 'SEGA!' at the end rock.

Hah. Or the Michael Jackson Moonwalker commercial. Classic.

The Sega Saturn would of succeeded in the US had we also got Segata Sanshiro commercials.  I'm positive. 


Of the current commercials... I gotta say eh.... Sony?

The Wii commercials were great... and were the best but whenever I hear their commercials now i just zone out. I think those commercials have probably blown past most peoples threshold of paying attention and never get to the games they are trying to advertise.

360, i haven't seen a general 360 add in a while... the last ones I saw were the little kids singing while adults set up and played a bunch of Mature only and 17+ games on the 360. Adults older then your usal gamer market.

Which was just weird... the message i think was all wrong, and i couldn't tell who they were targeting....

The Sony adds... while I believe are tareted to the wrong audeince (those who already want a PS3) and doesn't do enough to actually develop interest. (Aka works as a reminder add) it atleast is more consistant then the 360 adds... and I don't instantly zone out like the Wii who needs a new style of adds.

In terms of eye-catching, the PS3 commercial for sure. But I think they need to do another one, I've seen it so many times.

I really hate the Wii commercials, they just don't shout out at you and show you what the console has. And the "wii would like to play" yuck.

Some 360 commercials are pretty good, like Oddysey and Mass effect, but I didn't like the ones where the people would go and grab stuff like a TV, couch, table, and 360 and set it up randomly somewhere.



I would like to say Wii, but thez dont have commercials... ever...

Without question! Sega had THE best ads for any system! 'Say it. Say it. SEGA! lol...beyond Sega's old commercials I have to agree with those who mentioned the 'clay stills' Halo 3 commercial and the Gears of War commercial with Gary Jules cover of the song 'Mad World'. Both of those commercials had my jaw on the floor the first time I saw them.

 

LOL ... say it, say it ... ROTFL ...

I love the Joe Montana football commercial where folks were showing him flashcards and asked him who he saw.

"Reggie White!"

Dang ... I agree with you on the Gears and Halo commercial, and the one commercial I really love the most? The original kill.switch commercial - when it shows a car built in Detroit ... dang, that was genius. 

 



I'd have to say Sony's comercials are the best

I love the Saliva one they did, very kickbutt

the White Room ones were also unique, and I enjoyed them even though most people didn't...

but these new PS3 ones are awesome, everytime i get excited seeing em

The Sony PS3 ones here suck ass, there is one with weird circus freaks dancing around and changing clothes that really pissed me off.

The 360 one with the 360 being played in the middle was okay, but that got boring.

The Wii ones piss me off... stupid families playing sonic and mario.

The best ever ad was the PS2 ones with all the people stacked up in the city and that "get on board" song was kickass.

The Gears of War one
+ if you want to count it, the iPhone



The ps3 black onyx commercials are really cool, and they are my favorites of the more recent commercials.

The Wii commercials are getting old, but they were good at first. Really to the point.

I really liked the Gears of War commercials way back when as well.
