[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="AfterShafter"][QUOTE="skrat_01"]The Rubix cube one in particular got my attention. Heck all those 'white room' ones - the very concept of it is exellent.

You know, you're the first person I've ever heard say anything remotely like this. Most people were, you know, expecting something that was kind of, you know, about gaming.Marketing - and ad design - plays a huge role in determining the sucess of a game - let alone system. See Gears of War and Halo 3 - especially.
Gaming eh? Well the white room ads, when used to advertise games like MotorStorm were quite awesome. Heck even the Lair ones, made the game seem great. Its good advertising.
Heck on Marketing and Brand Name alone, is why so many PS3s have been sold.
Should the PS3's crappy performance then be taken as a sign that its ad campaign sucked?
Nope.Price - justiufication of it, lack of titles (currently) to relate to popular PS2 franchises - is pretty much why the system is flunking.
Not even Sony marketing can win over the common sense of the consumer. The loyalist will always follow though.
Still it doesent stop the ad campiagn from being a good one. Like I said, its riding on that alone - and loyalisits - that the PS3 has sold so much already.
When the PS2 franchises start rolling out, is when the console sales will skyrocket. That and the need for gradual price drops.
