@theprof

you're saying the baby commercial was successful? All this time I thought advertising was about showing you a person should buy a certain product. Guess you're right, i really don't understand :)



advertising is not about getting someone to buy a product.
It is the final destination, but the advertisement is not about that.

Marketing is there to generate interest and buzz. This commercial has been posted thousands of times on the internet, people were talking about it. It's been proven in psychology that just hearing something enough times causes you to grow attached to it.



And Thats why i love Sony.

look at it this way

say a comedian is just shooting the shit with the audience. He then brings up the sprite commercials, subLIMEinal advertising, and makes some jokes about how businesses can do whatever they want now, even subliminally advertise and how he now goes and buys geico even though he doesn't have a car.

those people in the audience then go out to dinner. It is very likely that a larger number of them will order a sprite than if they had not heard him talking about sprite.

People seem to think that Sony is stupid because of less advertising or whatever. They know what they are doing.

 

thats the best thing about Sony, even after being 3rd in the race they are putting out more and more great games, but at the same time i think even after having so many developers they are spread too thin across three platform (PSP, PS2, PS3). 



So apparently MAG is due out in Fall and The Agency in 2010. Both look like great games. I thought the Agency would never come out.




One reason for the gap is that Microsoft won over 13- to 24-year-old hard-core gamers with the Xbox and a couple of blockbuster shooting franchises made exclusively for it: "Halo" and "Gears of War."


That line made me chuckle.

I remember when I was "hardcore".



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
