Sony’s New PS3 Ad: Hit or Miss?

Sony’s New PS3 Ad: Hit or Miss?

Is Sony’s “Long Live Play” campaign targeting the wrong audience, or is it a step in the right direction for a company that’s made more than its fair share of marketing mistakes?

Last week, Sony dropped a quick teaser video packed to the gills with PS3 game references. The video promised that something even cooler would show up on October 5th, and today they’ve followed through with the first ad in their new “Long Live Play” campaign.

If you missed our earlier post on the video, you can watch it again here:

There’s only one problem with this ad campaign, at least as far as I can see – anyone that’s going to get the majority of the references already owns a PlayStation 3. If Sony’s goal is reminding PS3 owners how great things are going, they should focus on fixing PSN’s stability issues rather than pushing out a slick ad campaign.

If Sony is looking for new gamers, especially those that don’t already own a system, I doubt this campaign is going to be very effective. Very few gift-shopping parents are going to recognize characters from “Assassin’s Creed” or “God of War,” so it’s unlikely this ad will spur them to pick up a PS3 over a Wii or Xbox 360. Besides, have you seen Nintendo’s Wii commercials?

No? Well watch this one:

Look at how the Wii brought their family together! Parents respond much better to this sort of ad than to one packed with references they don’t get. Sony may have done fans (especially those named Michael) a favor with this new campaign, but I doubt they’re going to see any sort of renewed interest in the console from people that aren’t already in their pocket. I don’t know many PS3 owners that are in a big hurry to buy another PS3, and selling PS3s seems to be the only intention the ad actually has.

What do you folks think? Effective fan service or another Sony marketing foul?

GDC 2011: NGP power can't equal PS3's, demo videos, details

Posted Mar 2, 2011 at 10:48PM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS Vita Tags: gdc 2011, news, Sony

Earlier this year, reports landed on the Internet, supposedly of Sony telling licensees "the device 'is as powerful as its big brother, the PS3." Fast forward to the ongoing Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, however, and here we have the company denying they made any claims of the sort.

"Some people in the press have said wow, this thing... could be as powerful as PS3," said David Coombes, platform research manager for SCEA. "Well, it's not going to run at 2GHz because the battery would last five minutes. And it would probably set fire to your pants."

Having disspelled that notion of the NGP being as powerful, or even rivaling the PS3, Sony then went on to present their demo of the NGP, as well as shed some more details about it.

The game cards, according to him, will be available in shops, in two sizes: 2GB and 4GB. Given these numbers, it's then very obvious that it does not even come close to the usual 9GB size of a game for the PS3, on Blu-ray.

He does, however, remained mum about just how much the internal memory of the NGP will actually have. "I can't talk about the actual numbers, but compared to the PSP we have a LOT of memory... we're closer to PS3 than PSP in terms of memory size."

The original PSP model (Phat/1000) had 32MB worth of memory. The successors -- Slim/2000, 3000 and PSP Go -- meanwhile, all had 64MB. As for the PS3, it has 256 MB system, and 256 MB video. Given these numbers, and his clue that the NGP's memory leans more towards that of the PS3's than the previous PSP models, it should probably be around... 150-200ish? That's just a wild guess from my part, though.

Apart from that, he also discussed the two versions that the NGP will be having. While both versions will have Wi-Fi, one edges out over the other because of the 3G network connectivity. The version with the 3G feature also will have GPS sensors. Those who will be getting the Wi-Fi only version need not feel left out, though. You can still rely on the wi-fi to "do quite accurate positioning." In fact, "in urban areas, it's more accurate than GPS," he said.

He then went on to talk about the hardware itself. As you now know, and have probably ogled at and scrutinized for every waking hour since it was officially unveiled, the NGP will be sporting a front touch screen, as well as a rear touch pad. Both of these touch-surfaces would be able to detect how much pressure you're putting on the handheld. It's what they call the "analogue strength reading". As to what it can do for you, well, let's just say at least now you can see for yourself how hard you're mashing those buttons -- or in this case, that screen.

Other details you must know about the NGP:

5-inch screen

960x544 resolution

anti-aliasing

Having done his part of the Sony presentation of the NGP, Tsutomu Horikawa, SCEI director of sotware interantional development partner in Tokyo, then took to the stage to show off what the NGP can actually do.

The augmented reality demonstration had the NGP "visualizing" a T-Rex in the theatre's aisle. Sounds cool, yes? Guess what. It looks even cooler. Just check it out in the embedded video below.

Now, the show did not end there. Sony had a lot of other goodies to show off. And why not? It's the perfect time to shut up the naysayers, to prove that Sony is still so in the handhelds race.

They had two other live demos featuring the NGP software, featuring some of the games that will be coming to it. There's Little Deviants and Uncharted Portable showing GDC attendees the hot stuff.

The push notifications system of the iPhone has always been highly criticized. Dont worry, your iPhone didn't do anything wrong, its just the way Apple designed iOS. Competitors of Apple have always been credited for having a better notification system for example in Google's android or on HP's webOS.

Sony: Xperia Play is cooler than iPhone, may face competition from NGP

Posted Feb 24, 2011 at 10:08AM EST by Karl B. Listed in: PSP, iPhone, PS Vita Tags: next generation portable, ps phone, Sony, Sony Ericsson, xperia play

Next month, Sony's much talked-about Xperia Play smartphone will finally hit the market. Since the Xperia Play -- or PS Phone, if you want -- is one of Sony Ericsson's main weapons in their bid for a bigger slice of the smartphone market, comparisons with Apple's iPhone are inevitable. As Sony Ericsson sees it, one major positive point for the Xperia Play, however, is that using it is "much cooler than using an iPhone."
