Sony's love = buying commercials on tv to increase sales of their console

Microsoft's love = Buying exclusivity on games for their customers.

Which one would I want more... hmmmm.

Sony's love = having big enough 1st party and enough franchises so they dont need to purchase games and successful predecessors so 3rd party don't need to be forced to develop for them

Thats called saving Sony's ass after not begging 3rd party dev's to stay exclusive. Sony's love? Sony was forced by Microsoft to focus on 1st party exclusively. They took away their comfort zone.

OK, I'll bite on the serious discussion hook (just for a second)

You are dead right on that one...but lucky for Sony that their first party studios are amongst the top studios and they'll need to be for the next few years...they cannot slip.

While since Im in my own thread indirectly about advertising...very surprised MS had no ads in Game 1 of the World Series. It was like bizarro world for a night. I'd expect some ads tonight for something from them

(go Phils!)

MS will advertise better. They are focusing on bundles right now. I don't expect their advertisements to be in more abundance than Sony's though. I see MS 1/3 of the time out of them and Sony.

Wow...we must watch different channels, all I ever see are multiplat form title commercials that end with 'Xbox now $199' Jump In. (now you can understand why I made this thread in the style I did)

Thats weird, i've barely seen those except in the newspaper. The arcade is going to sell like crazy this Christmas. Gears 2 will launch at the perfect time head to head with Resistance. Of course Gears 2 is going to destroy it though.

Sony doesn't do any advertising here.. the stores do it for them :P
I barely ever see a playstation commercial from sony.. most of the time it's a retail chain telling about their great offer on the ps3 :p
