Game Spot: Xbox 360 ripples up Wii site
Posted Dec 16, 2006 at 9:22PM EST by QJ Staff

It's a no-brainer that advertising is a dog-eat-dog world. And while some sales pitches are just plain weird, we were beginning to wonder what one website had in mind when they posted this ad. Kind of reminds us of the old Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola days.

We were scoping out Game Spot for our daily dose of Wii news, when we noticed something didn't quite fit in the Wii's page: a Microsoft Xbox 360 ad that flooded the site's background with its trademark apple-green swirls and accessories.

Wii: 360 ads on the side


While multiple console ads like this are becoming commonplace, the layout's a literal eye-sore: other guys have already reported on how painful the ad is on the eyes, with all those green ripples staring them in the face like some pseudo-psychedelic hypno-machine...good thing they're not animated.

I saw that too! The same ads were on the PS3 page also. I could care less. I don't like the PS3 very much, but I respect it.

and i think gamespot just sell out, because of the bad publicity they are giving to ps3 and wii games (like the bad rate they gave to twilight princess) and the good they are giving to 360 games (gears of war).

# Yeah that's why — Guest 2006-12-17 18:02
TP's average score is higher than GoW's. Don't get me wrong GoW is the 3rd best game of the year but it doesnt beat Zelda imo.
