its the same with Sony and Nintendo

the most original is Nintendo.

I don't think MS copied Sony at all. MS has probably had this campaign ready for months. They were just waiting for Sony to make their move.

MS and Nintendo are light years ahead of Sony in marketing this generation. The Halo and Gears commercials were some of the best ever. Nintendo is far ahead of MS and Sony in marketing to women and other non-traditional gaming demographics.

in my opinion, the "it does everything" advertising is misleading, because the slim doesnt hve backward compatibility (if it had, i would buy it)

though you have your own needs, i dont understand how playing ps2/ps1 games is the most important thing when purchasing a PS3

thats ms for ya

if youve followed them since msdos its what they do.

its wierd i became such an xbox fan, as i hated ms forever.

im not on IE atm

but yeh they are smart, evil and smart :)

My local Gamestop advertises the Wii similarly to yours. It is a testament to the Wii's popularity that the only advertisement necessary is a poster stating that the Wii is in stock. Anyway, yes, Microsoft are smart. 

Yeah Ms is great to compete and doesn't copy.

yeah all the stores around here have ads saying $299 Xbox 360 elite and $249 xbox 360 pro (while supplies last). Nothing for the wii or PS3 slim

too funny, microsoft is smart, microsoft is desperate to keep ahead, who cares about elite for 299.00. you could have a 360 for 200 bucks with a harddrive for 249.00. most people have been waiting for sony to drop the price, the ps3 is what is wanted. sony knows that why should they spend a bunch more money for no reason. its actually sony is smart. why do you think ps3 sales are through thr roof, and 360s are NOT

I've seen more TV ads for freaking Professor Layton than I have for anything from Sony in the past week.
