Loving this new marketing push. The "live from PS5" ads are very cool and fresh!

They've always favored live action ads. I think they believe it comes across less nerdy.
The Gravity Rush ad was the best.

Agreed, these ads are awesome...
Actually, thinking about it, 'if' Sony are planning a showcase soon then I wouldn't mind if the whole showcase was done in this news format.

Is the PS5 one even real? It somehow looks like CGI (genuine question, maybe it's just a really camera, looks too clear to be true).

Yes. The first image just has mood lighting and good angles.
Someone steal a PS cone for me.

Looks cool but how about tell us more about what 1st party games are coming?
I thought the excuses were “why talk about future games when they have to concentrate on GOW Ragnarok marketing”…….

Furiously mashing triangle in Ragnarok doesn't even do anything, with the axe at least. You have to hold it to charge up the frost power.
I guess they meant mashing attack, but then maybe the people writing these posts should learn how the games actually control.
/ Pedantic rant
The axe is pretty cool though, but the game is already "old". But I guess it's still selling, and more and more people are starting to get PS5s.

He's trying to call the axe back.
Represent.

Ah. That makes sense actually.

Makese sense why they would pick up the marketing pace, al 3 major gaming systems there are very close together, less than 90k apart cumulatively.

Giant AR for U.S marketing push?

For 2022, not LTD.
Amazon (UK/FR/US) has stock, but if you are in the US its invite only.

Excluding the Switch yes still relatively close. Of course the Switch would be further ahead being over 3 years older than the other two.

Thats exactly why this ads are being made now.
The ad is ok. I miss the weird Playstation ads from the PS2 and early PS3. Those were my favorites.

It's not that close, Xbox Series hasn't surpassed 2M yet.

Should have just had Riverdale play on all TVs, sponsored by Sony/Santa Monica. Same quality and style of writing.
I guess it just gets people who've seen it talking about it so maybe.

This 'live from PS5' campaign is really good.
It would be smarter to leave showcases for later, away from big releases.
In marketing terms it would be smarter to focus on TLOU tv show, PSVR2 and Forspoken releases instead, while also having this ads campaign to let people kwow that PS stock is available in the countries where it's the case.

Well I think the TV show is well enough known/established so as not to be a factor, if anything if there is any TLoU news (factions 2 or whatever it has become) then it can only benefit from the TV show being on air (separate mediums and all that)
Forespoken? I dont think Sony care too much about that really (in fact with all the negative press surrounding it they may even want to deflect attention away from it)
PSVR 2 could do with a showcase also in my opinion. Other than some blog posts and some hands on at shows we havent had a big PSVR 2 blow out, would be nice to know what PlayStation have in store for PSVR 2's future (other first party games especially)

Its awesome. Thats what u should say. In a few months i already forgot about any new console or games ads from recent years, but i will never forget the alien looking girl. Or the baby doll that was a PS3 ad. Or the japanese ad for DMC for the PS2.
All these new ads have all this cool visuals and insane production values, but no one remembers them in a few months.
