Support NeoGAF

[Y2Kev]

I wonder if this is, like, a political gambit by SCEE. A delay now would be disastrous for Sony. They could be trying to force Corporate's hand if there is indeed an issue with launch allocations.

Sony has absolutely lost the plot if they delay in Europe to launch in Japan, but I kind of can't see how Japan could consume so many units that it would be material. How many PS4s would Japan need for 6 months? 500k? It's not material.

 

[Gorillaz]

Damn didn't know this was actually playing here on tv in America. Flipped to Fox and saw there big as sign all around the field. It's now a HTC but still

It's a miserable, cold, rainy day in NY today and this is the first UEFA CL game I've watched. So not bad exposure for worldwide event.

Any idea how much a board ad like that would cost?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I have hope for an ad during half time:

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Sry Japan you'll have to wait this time! (Maybe)

 

[paradise_circus]

we could use google trends to see how this board add is coming across the viewers.

 

[SJRB]

More like hundreds of millions.

On average 300 million people watch the champions league final.

fixed

Tens? Hundreds.

Hundreds of millions, its more watched than the Superbowl

Yeah yeah fellas, my mistake.


Over 9000 million people.

 

[Spartaner]

Wasn't it already a dead certainty both would release this year?

yeah ms also confirmed that the xone would launch around the world this year.

500k in Europe would probably enough for launch day.

Sony is the main sponsor of the CL.

Sony is one of the official CL competition sponsors.

\1st half done



DO IT SONY!

 

[Adamm]

Half time! Its time....maybe

 

[uncharted86]

the game is watched by like a 930805403945 people

Is the game broadcast in space to reach that many viewers? ;-)

 

[Kyoufu]

but no Ultimate Team in FIFA. DUN DUN DUN

Wut?

 

[Y2Kev]

Wut?

Missing Exclusive Content for Xbone in FUT™

Costs about €150m to be a sponsor for the Champions League.

[Rebel Leader]

Wut?

He's been corrected


Move along

 

[Into]

Maybe no region will have to wait til 2014, outside the 3 major markets? Its possibly that they are just doing everything right and are super prepared this time

Sometimes i think we just expect the fuckup arrogant Sony of 2006, but this seems nothing like it. Everything from them has been different, refreshing and different, like a completely different company.

Here is the 15 min break, doubt we will see any tv ads

Is that... insider-info?

 

[Roxas]

Here we go!

 

[dragonflys545]

but no Ultimate Team in FIFA. DUN DUN DUN

HAHAHAHAHA so much fail.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

500k in Europe would probably enough for launch day.

Tbh Japan could eat up 500k in two weeks. PS2 did 600k in its first week there.

 

[Portugeezer]

500k in Europe would probably enough for launch day.

Indeed, at least if you look at Wii U and past console numbers worldwide, if they start manufacturing now (which I assume they will if the design is finalised) they should have more than enough for launch.

 

[SJRB]

Three Ford commercials in a row, what the hell is going on..

I have no idea about the price but afaik Sony has always been one of the major sponsors of the Champions League.

 

[Gorillaz]

Is that... insider-info?

PS4 galaxy wide launch confirmed

 

[metareferential]

Ps3 had difficulties with part of the hardware; but if Microsoft managed a worldwide launch with 360, why can't Sony do the same with PS4?

They know Microsoft is going to launch simultaneously (or with a really small delay) on all regions (on all relevant region, that is).

Fuck Japan. Let them wait xD

 

[Rebel Leader]

I think it is and they only withhold the console until e3 to build some hype... it's working

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Wut?

Some pink footballs are exclusive for the Xbone.

 

[Sethos]

Awwwww yiss!

 

[Portugeezer]

Everything is broadcast into space.

Money bags Sony. Damn, that´s the most expensive add.

 

[Y2Kev]

It's not 2000 anymore. How long did it take PS3 to hit 500k?

Stop being Mr Negatory.

Making me uncomfortable lol.

They sponsor the entire competition and have for years. Not just the final.

Champions League football and PlayStation go together like Doritos and Mtn Dew

 

[MANGOD]

Lol no advert

 

[uncharted86]

Yeah, this is not new money spent by Sony, but still very smart way to hype PS4.

 

[Khrno]

No ad in the ITV broadcast so far.

 

[AOC83]

Tbh Japan could eat up 500k in two weeks. PS2 did 600k in its first week there.

PS3 was 600k in 2 days in Europe. I think that could also be possible for PS4 if they can produce enough units.

 

[Adamm]

No advert at this break it seems. Maybe just before the restart?

 

[pauljeremiah]

no advert on Irish tv >.<

 

[Midas]

Haha yeah, but it's not just for one game though. Half of those 400 million USD for the NFL thing for Xbone.

 

[pieatorium]

500k in Europe would probably enough for launch day.

PS3 sold 600k in it's first week there at that stupid price it had

 

[Rebel Leader]

no advert on Irish tv >.<

nothing on US T_T

 

[Polishin8r]

No advert at this break it seems. Maybe just before the restart?

 

[LuuKyK]

I dont think there will be an ad at all. The boards are already a pretty big deal imo.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

It's not 2000 anymore. How long did it take PS3 to hit 500k?

8/9 weeks.

 

[Delusibeta]

Two minutes ad time in the Superbowl spot is probably more expensive. This is board and sponsorship spots in all of the Champions League matches in a couple dozen countries.

 

[kemalettin]

200 million people watched 2012 CL Final funny to compare CL final with Superbowl lol

 

[Baleoce]

I think itv have a double ad session at half time. They'll talk for 5minutes then it'll break again.
