[QUOTE=ZachPL;42530891]You brought it up because you are a fanboy[/QUOTE] How do you know i am a Playstation fanboy, because i brought up a xbox video? :v: You sure know how to start some drama here.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42530891]You brought it up because you are a fanboy[/QUOTE] Says the guy who gives boxes to people who just mention the PS4, or anything negative abut the Xbone.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42530891]You brought it up because you are a fanboy[/QUOTE] One could say the same about your overzealous defense of the Xbox One. Really though, there's nothing wrong with noting that Microsoft clearly has a different audience and marketing strategy than Sony does. Sony (so far) is going full bore after the gamers, while Microsoft is attempting a more all-encompassing approach to try and grab the casual audience.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42530872]Really had to bring xbox into this on a ps4 article, [/QUOTE] They are rival consoles. Of fucking course it's going to be brought up, what do you expect? You must be really insecure about your console of choice if you don't like people comparing the two.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42530891]You brought it up because you are a fanboy[/QUOTE] This post is so ironic it hurts. Also the adverts Sony have been making for the PS4 thus far have been pretty spot on.

[QUOTE=ZachPL;42530891]You brought it up because you are a fanboy[/QUOTE] Dude, chill. It's just interesting to see what Microsoft and Sony are focusing on, and the differences between the two. Microsoft focuses on the people who want all the things Xbox can that isin't related to games (a strange choice, considering it's a VIDEOGAME console afterall), and Sony is just doing what evry console manufacture up to this point has done, that is, focus on the games. Just an observation, doesn't mean that we are taking sides. The console war is a stupid concept.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;42531042]"Yeah lets make a commercial highlighting everything our consumer base/target audience hates about the Xbox One" ~ Microsoft[/QUOTE] Well to be fair it really seems to be the case that MS are trying to shift towards the One being a home entertainment device rather than just a console, so they are actually advertising to their target audience. It's just a shame they are alienating their original target audience who are more 'hardcore' gamers.
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;42531042]"Yeah lets make a commercial highlighting everything our consumer base/target audience hates about the Xbox One" ~ Microsoft[/QUOTE] Actually, you've got it backwards. That commercial is aiming [B]directly[/B] at (part of) their target audience. Microsoft is actively trying to make the Xbox One more than 'just' a videogame console; they want to control the living room. One way of doing that is by promoting the features that non-gamers or otherwise casual gamers might end up using in order to get them interested. edit: Damn you Kapin.

I understand that they are trying to shift audiences for some inexplicable reason but I doubt that they will succeed.
I love this new Playstation ad, Playstation keeps improving with each ad they make. They're already winning the console race at the beginning line. I cant wait for Sony Playstations next ad.

That was a pretty awesome commercial.
Now this is the kind of commercial that I can enjoy. Seeing great licensed games in live-action, neat. Sorry Microsoft. Watching people smiling and laughing in front of a television set doesn't really appeal to me.
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;42531088]Yea sorry. With "target audience" I meant their original target audience. I understand that they are trying to shift audiences for some inexplicable reason but I doubt that they will succeed.[/QUOTE] Seems to me they're simply trying to expand their audience beyond gamers. I imagine a good chunk of their current gamer-audience will simply buy the next product either because it's comfortable to stick to what you know, or because they follow exclusive franchises. So instead they focus marketing power on a big target group that hasn't too much contact with XBOX until this box. If I didn't know about XBOX and saw this clip tho I still wouldn't know what they were trying to sell me. A smart TV? Some service that connects stuff? They could've put a bottle at the end instead and I would've thought they were trying to sell Soda. It all seemed so vague and unfocused most of it just went past me. PS4 was about two friends playing games and singing a silly song, pretty simple stuff. I guess we'll see whether MS will succeed in trying to please everyone or whether the result will be so generic and "uninsulting" nobody will be interested it in. I think it's quite a daring move in itself, considering that Nintendo's already king of "fun for the whole family" and Apple got the hip teen crowd pretty covered. It's not exactly a demographic swimming in money/thirsting for hardcore titles either, so if they're selling the console at a loss and hope to recover via game sales, they might be miscalculating unless their gold accounts sell like crazy. My 2 cents.
