All 3 brands have huge advertising power this gen. Who do you think makes the best commercials?
My opinion, about the ads I can see in France:
Nintendo don't show the games a lot in it's ads, they show people having fun playing the games. And it's very well done because that's what the wii is about, having fun with friends or family. I also like the clean and white design of these commercial that remind of the colors and shapes of the wii.
Sony has cool commercials. Strange, inefficient, disturbing, but really cool. Most of them look like some piece of art. I really liked the "This is living" series of commercials, even if I think it's the worst way to sell a video games system, it was fun to watch.
Microsoft has the most classical ads of the 3. Not funny, nothing new, pretty boring. But they show the games, and that works. Though I hated when they sent this boat on the Seine the day the PS3 launched in France. In front of the Sony stand in Paris, there was a boat with written on it "XBOX 360 loves you" or something like that. May look funny, but I thought it was pretty lame.
Your thoughts?
