3DS marketing vs. Vita marketing

LOL Sony and their last place budget. :lol:

I just saw Vita marketing ad, lmao it was really bad lol.:cry:

That ad tells me everything I need to know about new Sony Vita Nail Polish.

Nintendo got the Biebs. Nintendo > Sony

Nintendo actually promoted the product in the commercial while I'm not sure what Sony did.farslip

They were clearly promoting their new line of high-tech nail polish.

*Watches the Sony ad....*

...........If I can place two image to describe it, it's this:

and

Then Sony will wonder why it won't sell up to its full potential...

SPEND SOME MONEY ON TEH ADS MANNN

Good thing I can go out and play them for myself and make a sound decistion rather then letting commercials tell me what to buy. The PS Vita is amazing tech for the price the 3DS was outdated as hell as soon as it launched. SilverSterls

*sniff sniff*

Smells like damage control to me.

Too right, mate. I bet flame shield can't repel fire power of that magnitude.

3DL in times square

Mario Kart 7 custom karts

Awesome way of conveying the 3D effect

Why does Sony do this? Really, besides the Kevin Butler ads Sony marketing (for the gaming division at least) has been complete ASS CRUST for years now. Marketing seems to be Sonys biggest issue sometimes. They make good stuff, but when will they learn how to properly show it off to the public?

Why do people not realize that the Vita ad is clearly the start of a larger ad -.-_Cadbury_

That ad tells me everything I need to know about new Sony Vita Nail Polish.

Seriously, I mean talk about a nail to the 3DS coffin. The 3DS is screw!:P

I haven't seen any hype for Vita anywhere. No commercials, no media events, no promotions of any kind. Sony desperately needs to start generating interest in their system.meetroid8

It ALMOST sounds like a fair trade.

Almost.

That Nintendo ad is a prime example of how to do it. Show what your selling! It's really not that difficult. todd2r

Its a new gaming device from Sony. Some people are going to buy it of course. Still though, they have done an awful job of generating buzz and while the launch systems could probably sell with zero marketing it still doesn't bode well for the future of the system. Sony really needs to push this thing.

I've never seen a 3DS commercial on TV. Do they only show it on Cartoon Network and Oxygen? senses_fail_06

Still LOL'ing, well played.

On topic now, why is everybody obsessed with marketing suddenly? The fact that you talk about it means it's working, seems like it's trying to be disruptive. While the blurb released is pretty bare and does little to educate audiences what the hell a Vita is, it's still no crying demon baby doll commercial Sony made for the PS3. And that was full length ad, we haven't yet seen the remainder of the teaser released.

The taco bell adds are everywhere and although I do agree they could do a better job marketing the product I doubt it will have a hard time selling the launch systems. SilverSterls

The most promotion I've seen here are empty demo stations in the shopping mall -- and that's saying something considering it's in downtown Toronto ...

No, thats just stating the obvious - people who are heavily invested in gaming know about all the new talk of software and hardware. No one outside of the heavily invested gaming market knows about what the Vita is and that's pathetic.

I'm noticing a trend:

The technologically weaker console gets the better more notable games and marketing.

Really Sony? What is with you and these commercials? You had cool PS2 commercials.nintendoboy16

"Mountain" for the "Fun, anyone?" PS2 campaign won awards at the time, for example, but I'm sure would be met with scorn.

Meanwhile that one line she delivers reminds me of "Double Life" an ad I actually quite liked.

Strangely, I don't think they've changed agencies. Although TBWA may only act for SCEE. The Kevin Butler series was done by Deutsch Inc, so this may be by them as well.

Haven't seen this commercial, but it pretty much nailed it. It does seem to fit in with this theme.

I don't know man, I wouldn't mind a Vita all of a sudden:

From this brief clip, it sort of looks like an American-ised version of that ad's theme. Although, I don't know how well that bodes...

Also from looking into this a bit I've found out that both "Double Life" and "Mountain" were made by the same director, Frank Budgen.

Interestingly, he directed ads for the 360 at the start of the gen: "Jump Rope" and Water Balloon".

LOL Sony and their last place budget. :lol:

If you think that 3DS ad was good these ones for Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and Revelations are awesome

Most people seems to have forgotten that when the 3DS launched, most people thought that it was just a DS with 3D effects.
