IT isnt a bad strategy, once you think of it. It is the most sucessful Animated series after all. (i dont know if you can count Looney Tunes)

I noticed but with no real winning first party games to prmo. even with R&C just coming out; I guess they figure they will fool a few casuals into thinking that The Simpsons are Only on PS3. :P

PS: I'm buying the 360 ver. on launch day b/c I just love The Simpsons ! :D

R&C on PS3 is an amazing game. I beat it the other day, and im playing it on the higher difficulty. Honestly, one of the best looking games this gen.

i feel bad for sony they need to promote multi plat games like its an exclusive

i noticed not once is there a logo for another system, not a mention

its "on ps2, psp, and ps3" ... ok.. you sure those are the only platforms its for? feels like such faulty advertising

You no - I believe you as it was looking like a one good reason to pick up the PS3.

Still, it's baffling that I have seen the prom for the simpsons many many times but have yet to see one for R&C .

I dunno ?

Wow then I feel bad for Microsoft as well. SInce the majority of Madden and other EA games, have a 360 logo only at the end.

Microsoft has been doing this a lot in the last year, the madden ad only had a 360 logo. Good for sony, they need more marketing

That is true.

Like Marvel Ultimate Alliance was being promoted for the Wii.

Naruto was being promoted for the PS2 and so on....

The game is on every next gen platform including the handhelds and the ps2. Casuals aren't stupid or blind, I don't think this was the message they were trying to put across. Most likely it was just some marketing for the system itself, like hey, why don't you play the simpsons game on a sony platform, and then they show the ps3 logo to just get the buzz about the system out there again.

those are just a few of the many commericals with the xbox logo at the end.... this is the ifrst i heard of that sony is doing. so i guess that makes sony desperate right? meanwhile microsoft has been doign it for a longer time? and on more games? oh wait i shouldnt say that now because now the lemmigns will say " oh sony is copying micrsoft!!!!!"
