The latter would be pretty impossible to prove. Even if the game is terrible and sold amazingly well that doesn't mean the ad campaign was responsible.exwallst said:Makes me think, what are generally considered to be the best sellers despite horrible marketing? And the best sellers only because of terrific marketing?
Associating creepiness with your product isn't the best move.Adamm said:I dont see what is so bad about this?
Surely it catches your attention the first time you see it?

"We really liked what you did with Ice Cube. Make it happen with our new system!"Anticitizen One said:It seems to me that Sony hired the 90s era Sega marketing team to create the advertising campaigns for the PSP and PS3. Its the only possible explanation.

AniHawk said:Yeah, that dampened the mood of the ad. I think there was another line that was "Willst thou soar?" "Or willst thou suck?" that felt similarly misplaced.
gerg said:The thing about this advert is that graphically it is a gem. It looks amazing. Unfortunately, though, it gets caught up in a lot of shallow claims about it being racist or whatnot.
Yeah that's the one I remember. So out of place.AniHawk said:Yeah, that dampened the mood of the ad. I think there was another line that was "Willst thou soar?" "Or willst thou suck?" that felt similarly misplaced.

I have always loved Sony's marketing minus the PSP. I realize why things like "creepy baby" were not intelligent marketing decisions, but I thought those early PS3 commercials were fantastic. For someone like me it works, but if you are trying to sell 100 million consoles, not so good.
How can you possibly come to this conclusion? Did you even look at the video I posted?C4Lukins said:On the topic of Mario Sunshine, I do not think that is a self aware commercial.

Drkirby said:Yeah, there was also the "Kirby vs Dashing Super Guy" ad for Dreamland 1, but that was pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU6cHCkWqy8
I have to say for the time, the Kirby's Adventure ad is really a great ad at showing off the game in 30 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozPkEBhFzuw
I don't recall this commercial, but I found it hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN1ZMktS0SU
I dunno. I was 10 or whatever when it was on and I thought it was Nintendo finally growing a pair. I know we're talking about 90s EXTREME but that was the order of the day.rhino4evr said:The entire "Play It Loud" campaign from Nintendo in the mid 90s was really embarrassing. I would never match The butthole surfers as Donkey Kong Country
Chittagong said:haters gonna hate, but damn I loved Nintendo's 1994 Play It Loud campaign. Taking basic Nintendo games and giving them a surreal twist of credible edgy. It was genius because it coincided with the Nintendo generation reaching teenage and avoided the identity crisis of playing games like Yoshi's Island.
Night_Trekker said:The Shadow Man 2 thing where you pledged to put something about Shadow Man 2 on your tombstone. What the fuck, Acclaim.
Mr Nash said:
that's so hot. i want "her"
Someone on the advertising team was a big fan of Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, I guess.Yuripaw said:What the fuck were they thinking??
v0yce said:You guys suck. I love the Sony avant garde stuff.
Crying baby? Awesome
White is coming? Awesome
Thumb Penis (I'd never seen this before)? Awesome
David Lynch? Awesome
Those PSP squirrels are truly awful though.
Flying_Phoenix said:What is it with the PSP's marketing campaigns and potentially offending blacks? Seriously WTF.
