GameXtract writes "Sony has been known to have quite the radical approach when it comes to reaching its consumers, but it looks like this Christmas Sony has put their wild ideas aside to get the point across in a smooth, quick, and catchy way. I find that every time I switch on the TV I tend to watch two to three Playstation 3 commercials within the hour. Just comes to show how Sony is really pushing for big sales numbers this Christmas season. Not to forget the PSP, Sony has once again stepped it up, and not only by continents but by specific countries too. Upon watching MuchMusic today I was confronted with a great PSP commercial that truly connected both the portable unit, and Canada as a whole into one short thirty second clip. I have to admit that If I hadn't already owned a PSP, I would be quite tempted in pursuing that interest as this commercial has got me excited for my lovely Playstation Portable once again. Looks like Sony did it right this time. Clip after the jump."
Video after the jump!
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Canada f*** yeah!
WOOO CANADA!!!!!!!!! but ya this commerical was very effective.
Sorry but this commercial just didn't do it for me. I much preferred the PSP squirrels.
Proud to be Canadian! Need more PS3 Canadian commercials though ;)
