Why no PS3 commericals?

[dpomp]

didn't know if this should go in the games section but you can never go wrong with "off topic"

i've seen a bunch of commercials on tv for multi-platform games like madden 09, star wars the force unleashed, mercs 2, GTA 4, all these show up after the comercial as Xbox games. what i mean is the Xbox logo shows up at the end of the comercial. why doesn't the PS3 logo ever show up?? is sony not paying to advertise??

the average consumer who doesn't know about these games are probably thinking they are 360 exclusive. and if they're split between the 2 machines, they probably go out and buy a 360.

any thoughts??

Sony's too cheap to pay for the advertising? who knows.

For the record though RB2 is coming out on the 360 1st and then on the ps3 a bit later (not sure what is the release date of the ps3 version). I guess we'll see thier advertising when the ps3 exclusive games are close to release (Resistance2, Little Big, planete, etc).

yup, i haven't seen one in a while. i used to like the old Playstation commericals where the Japanese girl was at the end and said "Play..Sta..tion" and sounded all roboty(is thats word). The need to bring em back

my point was not that i haven't seen playstation comercials. i've seen them.

i was talking about it seems like the 360 is claiming all the multiplatform games as exclusives on their commercials. at the end of madden 09 commercial, it has the xbox logo. no ps3 logo, no wii logo, no ps2 or psp logo, no ds logo just an xbox. i'm wondering why?? i remember commercials where they used to have all the logos at the bottom at the end of them. are the commercials released by the gaming companies or by the console companies?? because they are commercials for games not consoles.

It could be that the hardware makers are paying so the commercial shows just thier logo. I've seen some that only showed the ps3 logo earlier in the year.

I agree, there should be more PS3 commercials and logos at the end of games commercials and all that stuff and naked chicks and money and power and, and ... sorry I'm tripping on this thread

what game is RB2 ?

Saving up for the Christmas season would be the most logical scenario. That's when most console sales are, IIRC.

Bingo!

Be ready to be hammered with commercials for the PS3 / PS3+Blu Ray / 1st Party games like Resistance2, LBP, and Motorstorm2... I think we'll also see plenty of Bioshock commercials.
I'd say it'll all start early November with the release of Re2

I honestly think it is because Sony has momentum in the market already, and is having some kind of problem keeping up with current demand (not a bad thing).

If they had inventory issues, they would likely need more ads.

[xtop]

while its obvious microsoft pays for those commercials, one can assume sony doesnt because those games arent going to sell consoles. the exclusive 1st party games will.

but i havent seen a ps3 commercial in forever, should be about time to ramp that up it'd seem

Just saw one where they are advertising for the new Star Wars game.
