French Ad: Vita's as Fun As a Four-Boobed Girl

[Roxor]

Okaaayyyyy...

Looks like some marketing guys need to cut back on the psychoactive stuff if they're coming up with creepy stuff like this.

Although, admittedly, this wouldn't seem out of place in a game which takes place in the mind of a crazy person.

 

[RadioactiveMicrobe]

Is it weird that i thought the white girl in the racist PSP ad was really pretty?

 

[ResonanceSD]

Aaaand Sony just gave away their Vita Peripheral plans.


In all seriousness. "Oh France"/"Wut"



Ok ok, in actual seriousness, I can see why they did this.


And I think they're idiots, but I can see the reasoning.

TOUCH
ALL THE BREASTS!!!
Sony does realize that there are already other parts of the female anatomy located in the back that are equally fun to grab?

Honestly I thought of shoulder blades first I'm not sure how to feel about this

grabbing is so mainstream, trace your fingernails and fingertips over almost any part
of a woman you'll get a better response most of the time
( woo, touchscreen all sensual and.. um just no. bad sony. )

pretty sure that's the point of the ad, anyhow especially since it's for france
and they're known for the touchy-feeley stuff

back-breasts
its the freedom of motion of doggy style with the intimacy of missionary

 

[Bullfrog1983]

It almost feels like you could make this into a drinking game. Every time Sony resorts to sexuality to increase sales take a drink!

 

[bafrali]

Can you say desperate?

I really don't know whether to laugh or to cry by this point

 

[Robot Number V]

Man, the French just do not give a fuck.

I mean, it's not offensive or anything, but it's certainly more racy then any ad I can imagine seeing on this side of the pond. (The American side that is, surprise surprise) Seems like the kind of thing you would see on a sitcom. Like, for example, WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND.

 

[Kargathia]

Wait.....people actually find something like this offensive?

You have got to be fucking kidding me.....

Chances are most of the objections come from countries such as the US, where sex still hasn't gained mainstream recognition yet.

 

[Tallim]

Another classic from Sony's 'Messing with nature' department.

Although for some reason it makes me think of this:

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

...Haha, that's funny. No, not sexy; a back on its own is sexy in its own way.

Actually, didn't we have a joke like this in How I Met Your Mother? What Barney would do if he won the lottery?

 

[JediMB]

Sony. What. Why?

Objectification of women aside, that image is just freaky. And does she have a head? Eyes on both side, since the Vita has two cameras? GAH.

 

[D64nz]

Wow, when will game companies realise that

A) many gamers have girlfirends, many of which are already hostile to games, and

B) If we want sex in digital form there are so many free websites out there we can find it without any trouble.



This is just stupid unimaginative marketing. The most hardcore gamers are in it for the game (and the 2nd job) not cause some chick looks nice is a dress and have double the cleavage. Infact that's just physically impossible to take advantage of. So it's just wrong on all levels. As a long time gamer this BS just makes me pissed off that if a company can't make good games they try to pull this kind of bullshit.

 

[D64nz]

It immidiately made me think of this: No one's forcing her to wear that shirt.

Nice shirt, and wanna fuck but thats nothing to do with a playstation.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

I wish I had been in their marketing department when they came up with this idea. Must have been an interesting day >.>

Not really. I can imagine it...

"Hey, idiots like tits."
"Will they buy anything with tits?"
"Probably."
"PUT TITS IN THE NEXT VITA AD!"
"Sir, I don't think tits alone are enough to convince people to buy our overpriced, user-unfreindly, nearly gameless handheld."
"You have a point... PUT IN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF TITS!"
"Brilliant!"

By the way, while it is nostalgic to see that cat as your avatar again, what happened to the one with one person fiddling with the other's cat ears? That was oddly hypnotising...

I still have it sitting in meh vault:

It was a really fun avatar, but I had to go back to Mao eventually

I may have to save that. Honestly, I could just sit at my computer and stare at that for hours...

Not in a pervy way, just clarifying.

 

[Mr Fixit]

For some reason this made me think of the movie "Paul".

Any guesses on how long it takes for the DOA people to think this is an awesome idea too?

 

[Hjalmar Fryklund]

I saw this late last night and very early this morning (5:30 AM) as well. I thought I was just sleepy.

This is really weeeeeeeird...

Gonna (jokingly) echo the people who suggested that Sony did drugs at the marketing meetings while I am at it.
