Why would Sony want to waste money on marketing games, when they have Playstation fanboys lol

I mean seriously every big Playstation game that comes out gets hyped so much that you'd be considered living under a rock if you never heard of the game. Killzone 2 has got to be one of the most hyped games of all time, it's been nothing but articles and threads for about a month now and there's still about 20 days left till it's release lol

No wonder Sony doesn't spend much on marketing lol

Because Sony fanboys are limited to internet forums. While Marketting reaches everyone?

I know this a joke thread.



 

If marketing was deemed useless, a majority of businesses would not be utilizing it.



B/C it makes the Sony fanboys happy to see the marketing on T.V. or else where

cause if they don't advertise the hype is gonna getr turned into hate, it is true that every game that gets annonced gets hyped inmensly and some of them whihc are mediocre are defended by fanboys when they get a average to low review and yes i'm looking at killzone 2 right now.

Sony has managed to save a fair bit of money by moving toward viral marketing (witness the alliwantforchristmasisapsp debacle), but even that isn't free. They know full well and depend on the idea that their fanboys will buy anything they put out regardless of quality -their higher-ups have even spoken of it in interviews- but the word still has to get out somehow.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Because we don't have a KZ2 Commercial Thread yet...


wait... do we?

The J man doesnt want to go there.....



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

I actually saw a Resistance 2 ad last night. The first one I've ever seen. Which is kinda strange seeing as it came out 2 months ago. I think it's part of their big marketing campaign, I know they've spent £2 million on advertising KZ 2 in the UK.
