Ok, I always see all three ads on tv. I actually see the Move Tiger Woods Golf one quite often, with the hilarious end to it.

If that where true then why are Sony in dead last? Obviously they have the worst adds of the 3 of they are in third position.

Whenever I watch football games it seems like Kinect ads are always on. I do see a lot of Move but barely any Wii anymore. Just goes to show how far half a billion dollars will get you in advertising.

Because good ads = good sales?

Depends what channels you watch and what time of day. I hardly see any Wii commercials and I see plenty of Move and Kinect commercials.

Little side note: Didn't the PS3 take over the Wii in sales recently?

The only Playstation adsI see are when they attach the logo to a multiplatform game, like Assassins creed. Oh, and on MTV and the like they often show MOVE and such

Same with the Xbox pretty much, but a couple weeks ago some Reach ads were on.

I see Nintendo ad's constantly with rubbish popular celebs like "Jedward" or JLS trying to sell Nintendo products to the family.

I'm pretty sure PS3 dominates in Japan but I don't have a clue about Europe.

If that where true then why are Sony in dead last? Obviously they have the worst adds of the 3 of they are in third position.

Considering the gap between PS3 and the 360 is VERY small, with expectations to surpass them by the end of 2012, I'd say the ads have been VERY effective.

Yes.

Then why do I rarely see 360 and Wii ads? Thats right you don't. You see ads for the games. Sony is the only one with ads for their system.

Nothing to do with ads imo. The PS3's success is down to it's branding. It been outselling the 360 since launch, that's even with a ridiculous price and very, very poor launch.

MS have done a lot to change that with their advertisement, but sony just dont need to do that. Gran Turismo will have minimal ads and it'll destroy forza in sales.

Agreed, a real accomplishment considering they used to have the worst. I guess they fired (and hired) the right people

I've seen a lot of Move ads in the UK. Which is a shame because they aren't very good.

I've seen maybe 2 Kinnect ads, a few Wii ones and tons of Butler ads over the past 2 weeks. My guess is the channels/programmes you watch makes a big difference.

I completely agree, I was just showing Fried_Shrimp how incorrect his statement is.

Also, I love when people say Sony is "dead last!!!!", when the mark seperating the PS3 and 360 is as miniscule as it currently is.

depends on a lot of factors. Like what channels your watching, at what time and where your watching them. Every time I go to the movie theater, I see a Move commercial.

I've seen the one with the vuvuzelas, found it quite humorous.
