Before anyone calls me a Microsoft fanboy, I'm a big fan of the Kevin Butler commercials. Anyways Microsoft needs to hire the "swan dive" guy to be their representative from the Old Spice commercials if they want to stand a chance. That guy is a hoot haha. If you guys don't know who I'm talking about here are some links:

They dont need to do anything but to continue to advertise the way that they are. It has been working so far, no need to resort to gimmicks imo. Sony was in a position where they NEEDED to do something different, and it worked extremely well. I love those commercials too :P. Anyway, i think Sony shouldve held on to this guy, he has so much charisma that he could probably sell anything..............maybe they couldve put him on PSP games :lol:

i personally dont think MS needs to do anything to combat Kevin Butler and his commercials. they seem to be doing fine. the Xbox slim is selling good, still in 2nd place, and the ps3 isnt gaining on them rapidly. i dont really see a need for them to do anything besides staying the course.

While I like the Kevin Butler commercials, not one of them has made me want to buy anything he advertised, or even turn my Playstation on.

By not having someone as annoying and someone with more personality so it doesn't look very obvious that he's just an actor.

What they need is actual focus on core games for the system.

The best M$ has done yet is the Gears commercials basically due to the song.

The best way to defeat Kevin Butler is to ignore it, do nothing, and wait for Sony to inevitably over stay his welcome and get on everyone's nerves.

unlike sony as of recent ... ms has been mature about everything thats going on in the industry.... as sony feeds its fanboys with kevin butler nonsense ms is being mature and not saying a thing... instead there planning games... as sony leaks games and calls ms a failure and nintendo losers practically on stage to the public on a regular basis.... what im saying is that

MS WOULDNT STOOP SO LOW.

I agree. He's not even that funny. It's also hard to like someone who is acting.
