Forums - Gaming Discussion - Publishers pushing the PS3 more now

p.s. not everyone, who is ready to buy, likes to leave empty handed and decides to be patient. Some people, decide to buy the best they can get that day....common sense maybe, but really...it just amazes me that all 3 major systems are now out of stock in my area...

Isn't this like EA only featuring the Xbox 360 in their Madden ads. And wasn't that because they got money from Microsoft?

If that is the case, it might be the same thing here. In other words ... Sony paying for its system to be featured in the Simpsons ads.

(And if I am wrong ... please someone call me on it. I am going from memory from what I have seen/read on this).

I've Seen quite a few first party Wii adds, the Metroid one was pretty good, nice voice over and a good amount of game play shown.

The DS on the other hand is being advertised like crazy over here, lots of brain training with nicole kidman right now but I hear Patrick Stuart of Captain Jean-Luc Picard fame is going to start advertising the DS soon, On the TV it's on enough for it to convice my sister to one.
But whats even more interesting is that it's all over the tube. I mean half the tube had DS adds on it.

A tag line for the DS which went something like "Why be bored? you could be improving your brain or be solving mysteries for an hour on your way to work" - well reading THAT on the tube while sitting on the tube and feeling really bored is very effective...and think about how many million people use the tube every single day.

Nintendo really has an amazing Ad team. The best of the 3 so far.

It wouldn't make sense for ubisoft to only advertise the ps3 version for no reason.  They should want people to know what platforms it is on to get the most sales.  What makes it overwhelmingly obvious is the little part at the end that advertises the new $400 PS3, why would ubisoft voluntarily put that in there?

well the 360 version was only featured at E3 so it at least makes sense to let people know that hey this is on the ps3 too.. they want both versions to sell not just one.

I hope you understand that when you see a PS logo or Xbox logo after a game commercial from a 3rd party thats multi platform. Sony or MS helped pay for the advertisements.



The Assassin's Creed commercial ran during the New England vs Colts game.   It started with the Playstation turning into an Octopus, then had the regular Ubisoft spot, and then ended with the PS3 logo. 

I don't know if Ubisoft really cares if a person buys the game on the PS3 or the 360.  As long as people buy the game, they are happy.



Yes, I saw the new PS3 and 360 commericials. Haven't seen a Wii one since MP8.

I do like the Ratchet one, the universal PS3 one, and the trifecta one for 360.
