Madden as a free game would be huge.

I love your avatar man

I just want Sony to be really agressive in their marketing. Have something that people remember.

...

I dunno. These Xbox One advertisements just seem so passive.

I, too, miss how rivals dissed rivals in the 90s.

 

[PTG]

Reverse image search in google lol

lol I knew it.

Then we would get people posting how these companies are immature

 

[Devilinthiscity]

I still have a hard time believing that the US won't be getting a pack in game. They've done it for EVERY other territory, right?

Europe preorders are getting Fifa and Forza 5. I could see them giving the US preorders madden, but my bet is that it's gonna be Ryse.

 

[Heretic]

Get on my level

I don't want to pull a muscle! Let me stretch out first... I'll get there for sure!

 

[todd44890]

The marketing is working. I pre-ordered my xbox one day 1 edition today from Wal-Mart. Pretty excited.

 

[statham]

I love your avatar man

Thanks!

 

[Boltman]

Pack in game for the US will probably be Madden or possibly RYSE. Assuming they actually do it.

 

[LukasTaves]

Ms should advertise like this:

Xbox. I need One

 

[bryehn]

Jump In

Jump Ahead

What will the next slogan be?

Jump back, wanna kiss myself, unh!

You won this thread!

The problem with billboards and the reason why they cost less than other forms of advertisement. Because visibility is limited by time of day, type of day and other factors such as road status. Some people will be able to see it while like this photo shows, some people wont.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Since Sony is a FIFA sponsor we've seen Playstation4 ads in europa for months now. Every international soccer game has them. Last time I've seen them in the super cup final. Bayern Munich vs. Chelsea London.(Few days ago)

Sky(Germany) has XboxOne FIFA14 Ads, they show up when they switch between games in their saturday conferences, so every few seconds basically.

 

[Darklord]

I think the whole green and black look they've done to the X1 advertisements are so ugly.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Jump In

Jump Ahead

What will the next slogan be?

With the overclocking ... probably Jump Start.

I want a pack in game. Please MS.

I like "Jump Ahead" quite a bit. Brings back good memories.

Well, I appreciate tongue-in-cheek humor when it's well done. Though, yes, those things get old fast.

Vs

Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox One

Sony's approach can never lead to any confusion. Even if the logo remains the same. MS is using the Wii U approach when it comes to branding. Same logo, but with a random extension

It's not causing Apple any trouble

iPad
iPad 2
The New iPad

'Jump Ahead' is cool, nice shoutback to 'Jump In'.

 

[Killing_Joke]

I personally think the Kinect design is nice. But it looks evil as fuck in all these ads. Like an evil Johnny 5. lol

It is confusing actually. That last name is not the name of the ipad now. It's "Ipad with Retina" to identify it as the newer one. "the New Ipad" was discontinued with the new model. And it is confusing because the stores will still have both models as "ipad with retina" and you have to determine if it's iPod connector or lightning connector to know which is which.

Let's see if heavy marketing will make a difference this time.

You do know that is a photoshop, right? He was mocking the lighting in Forza 5.

 

[supaflyryguy]

This thread seems like the perfect impetus for someone to make a "best console ads of the ps/360/wii generation" thread. But alas, I am but a junior.

 

[Digital-Hero]

"Jump Ahead" by itself isn't too great but in the context of "Jump in" it's a really great callback. The others posted in here aren't really that great though.

A great callback? They never stopped using it. It's still printed on the boxes of new consoles for 360, you'll see it upon opening it up.

It seems so perfectly synced to the music, haha.

 

[Tobor]

Why is it every time I see an Xbox One ad, I want it less and less. I mean, I'll prob buy one when they drop Kinect, or drop the price at least, but I don't know what it is about MS' ads that just put me off.

It's that same font and style they use for everything. They might as well call it Windows Xbox 8.

 

[supaflyryguy]

It's nonetheless calling back to a separate marketing campaign. It's success as a slogan seems to rest almost entirely on people's remembering the 360 slogan, which not everyone will.

Glad someone noticed I slowed down the video very slightly to make it sync the best as I can, It's around 97-98% of the speed of the original.

I seriously hope they won't try that for Japan again....

 

[fantomena]

I don't get it.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Scratch the "this time", because last time it was Sony. What I meant was: will heavy marketing help them despite having a higher price?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

[Gestault]

I don't get it.

People got annoyed that a lot of the promo shots from Forza 5 showed parts of the tracks where the sun was in the background.

 

[timlot]

I don't get it.

Folks like to make fun of Forza 5 blinding sunlight.

'Jump ahead'? In the middle of a road?

If an accident happens Microsoft should be sued.

 

[hardvibes]

No thanks.

[BlackLagoon]

Saw this ad in ESPN and Rolling Stone magazines.

This seems like an ad for someone who's already aware of what the One is. I'm curious what casuals get out it - I can easily see them glancing at it and thinking it's just some new app for the Xbox they've already got.

If they were blind maybe. I don't know how you wouldn't notice that device on that page isn't the one you have at home.

 

[Brianimaniac]

Looks like they've already spent more than Nintendo has in the entire lifespan of the Wii U.

There's always those consumers that assume its just a revision lol

You could say the same about the 360 that's in the stores now. Also you're assuming that people were paying close attention. Unless prompted to examine it carefully, most people will see what they expect to see.
