Is Sony Winning The Advertising War?

A little over two years ago the PS3 was a struggling console with an identity crisis. These days however, the PS3 is enjoying increased sales and a slew of must have exclusive games. One of the most overlooked aspects of Sony's steady rise has been advertising.

aren't there already enough wars?

qface645089d ago

i know right
now they are starting this winning the ad war crap lol geez

RememberThe3575089d ago (Edited 5089d ago )

Enough wars... That was classic.

There are never enough wars, how else could all these damn shooter keep coming out?

omodis4205089d ago

The wars are entertaining. It's kinda like watching one perpetual boxing match that will never end. Who does't see the fun in that.

As long as you don't identify yourself with the product you support.

Odin7775089d ago

That's the only reason I come to N4G...I mean it sure as hell isn't for the news which usually consists of poorly written articles and tweets. No, I come here for the all crazed trollnerds and their hilarious flamewars.

GodsHand5088d ago

War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

yes!

Bellcross5089d ago

Am I winning anything for caring?

answer

No

D4RkNIKON5089d ago

I agree, it is like all the 360 kids that love to play the sales game. Sales are fun if it means you are making money, if it is just so you can root for your team then you really have nothing better to do.

Odin7775089d ago

Yeah the sales only really matter to me if they're so low that a console or company may potentially fail, but Sony even in third is still selling enough to stay in the race.

Bellcross5088d ago

Wow I'm getting disagrees for saying I don't care.

you guys are a sad bunch.

gfunkera105089d ago

Kevin Butler has definitely helped improve the advertising, but being the big Sony fanboy that I am, I still can't say they are winning on advertising. People are just realizing now that the PS3 is the best console on the market.

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies122d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa3d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers22d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken21d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g22d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing22d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H922d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola21d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66921d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle21d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg22d ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos22d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola22d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
