The hell is up with sony's marketing?
« on: November 08, 2012, 09:25:26 PM »
Why does it feel like Sony's marketing/advertising lags behind that of Microsoft and Nintendo.

I mean LittleBigPlanetKarting came out on the 6th, the whole Wonderbook thing is next week, sony smash bros and the rachent and clank moba game as well.

So why Haven't we seen any marketing for the games that sony is betting its holiday lineup on. That coupled with no real push for the vita is horrible.

I mean nintendo has been having a steady ad campagin with the 3ds and now the Wii U.

Hell Microsoft has made a fucking film to promote Halo (forward onto dawn) as well as a live action short produced by david fincher. That's on top of the heavy windows 8/windows phone 8 marketing.

Just find it weird that sony is so horrible at getting visibilty for their products.

Sony's overall structure is coming apart at the seams. Remember the news that they are due to lay off 10,000 of its work force by next year. They then tried to sue Jerry Lambert (the guy who plays Kevin Butler: Sony's fake PR guy) for appearing in a commercial that featured a Wii.

Internally I think Sony has a hell of a lot going on right now and a failure in marketing may be the least of their worries.
