MAYBE MGS 4, but not Uncharted.That game is a NEW IP and has proved NOTHING in the gaming world in terms of sales, or if it's even any good!

Indeed, i haven't seen any advertisements on these games. I'm sure these could move some consoles.

They would just be throwing money away if they overdo it.

What he said. Also the main games that need to be marketed should be 1) Exclusive and 2) Part of a successful chain of games

1) Metal Gear Solid 4 (as he mentioned)

2) Ratchet and Clank (they always have good commercials for it)

3) Socom Online

4) Final Fantasy XIII

5) Gran Turismo Prologue

They most likely will. They're currently marketing the hell out of Heavenly Sword. I see that commercial every single time I turn on the tv. I'm glad they decided to go for a "real" commercial and just put the PS3 logo at the end instead of showing the PS3 in a white room. I think it'll help them sell more games marketing it this way.

I'd like to see a huge marketing campaign for R&C ToD.

It's the only PS3 game I'm buying for the rest of the year.....and probably longer.

It's the best PS3 game still imo, and the most successful new IP for it. And most casual gamers or people in general haven't heard of it.

It can't prove anything in sales if its not even out yet and many of the previews its gotten have been positive about it.

If they push anything it needs to be UTIII. It's a proven franchise and it's made by Epic.

UT3, Uncharted and SOCOM are the 3 games they need to market the hell out of this holiday. Those 3 will do nothing but help sell a bunch of consoles.

Well microsft knows Halo will sell like hot cakes so spending 10 million on marketing is nothing. I don't see these games moving millions of copies no matter what.

Wouldn't work as well. Ratchet and Clank might sell more copies, but Uncharted is a game with a limited appeal. It hasn't proven anything yet.

Forcing a game down people's throats works best when the game resonates with a lage audience and gets people to feel pressured to buy the game or 'miss out'. I'm not sure that RandC or Uncharted have that 'miss out' thing going for them.

Now MGS4 does, so does FF XIII, so does GT, bu they need to make a game where their focus is on making people feel left out for not playing it.

Uncharted yes, R&C. No

Because it has always been a trash series.

Seriously Uncharted could have some wicked advertising

Yeah, especially since Naughty Dog and Isnomniac have pretty much proved that they can do no wrong. Well, unless you count Ratchet: Deadlocked and Jak X: Combat Racing. *shutters*

They just need to market SOME KIND OF PS3 related device. I never see any PS3 ads, but Wii and 360 ads are pretty abundant.

They don't have endless pockets like M$. It's very risky for Sony to do that, while M$ can afford to take the risk.

It's weird. I think Sony wants to lose more money because all I see are Heavenly Sword commercials. They should start showing commercials for upcoming big games like:

Ratchet and Clank
SOCOM
FF
Uncharted
MGS4
GT5p
KZ2
LBP (That one will probably move some systems especially for casuals)

Nice sig DBZ Freak. That's even better than the HS commerical.

Sony's marketing is useless. The only commercials I see for the PS3 is for the console Resistance and motorstorm bundle.

You mean make a drink advertising the games, rent a theater to show someone playing a game, premire it at a NFL game, and do all the commericals? With 1 to 5 million copies sold total?

Yep, I like that.:P
