Its like Indigo Dingo was never banned...StriderShinryu said:Whether the article is great or not is besides the point (though I do wonder what particular factors you're using in making that judgement). What I do find, to be honest, rather shocking is the level of blatant fanboyism on show. You can certainly disagree with the column's viewpoint, and this would be a boring place if everyone always agreed with everything, but it would be nice if everyone at least read and comprehended what has been written.mrx19869 said:this article is not great...StriderShinryu said:Indeed. I too really thought the Escapist Community was above this.bismarck55 said:Susan's article is great, but this thread is embarrassing compared to usual standard here on the escapist.
Reading comprehension is key, people.
People need to read Susan's article. She says that Sony has put out an advert that is near identical to the Wii advert and that Sony seems unsure about who they are marketing their product too.
Lets take a less heated example. Imagine seeing a cola advert during the holidays with a CGI polar bear drinking a bottle of cola. You have seen this on Coca-cola adverts for years, then at the end the logo appears and it turns out to be advertising pepsi.
This would be considered a silly move for pepsi and does nothing to strengthen the Pepsi brand or to seperate it from other colas. Someone flicking channels could well view it and "see" a Coca-cola ad. Not a good use of Pepsi's advertising money.
That is exactly what SONY is currently doing with move.
Why is this so hard to grasp?
