Sony Reminds Us: OMG! Girls (Sorry, Girlz) Play Games Too

I was pissed when I first saw the damn thing now I'm absolutly livid. I hate these steriotype ad campaigns. Its sickining to see how little progress we have made as a race that we think we have to create specific adds for girls, boys, whites, black etc. This is just sad. Also I have gotten my sis(who just turned 16) into playing games a little and the only one on that list that she likes is Loco Roco, but two games she likes even more, Warhawk and the Call of Duty series. Maybe the marketing department should do some research onto the Playstation Network and find out what games the girls who have accounts are playing.
Why is t that every ruddy ad campaign aimed at Lady Gamers must replace every fucking S with a bloody Z, it annoys the fuck out of me.
I see this advertisment having about a 75% chance of not being a commerical failure, mostly because Disney has been trying to push their own games for a while now, and teaming up with Sony's PSP, will help them advertise the Console for the games their selling. Along with that, if in the future Sony and Disney teamed up, and all of the Disney games were made a single console ordeal, ther PSP would sky rocket, and the DS wouldn't be so indestructible in sales.
This isn't that bad of an advertisment, it's not condeming girls to anything negative, other then a light shade of purple, and maybe picking up a copy of Loco Roco. THough I would like to know, what makes a 'True Gamer' I thought playing games made you a gamer-aparently I was mistaken.

Ahh Son of a *****! Why does Japan get all the sweet special edition Playstations. They get the FFVII PS3 bundled with advent childern, the Yakuza 3 dragon PS3, The FFVII:CC silver PSP, the MGSFiria said:That... does not look like something I'd want. No, the sexy Final Fantasy Dissiadia limited editions in japan? Now THAT is a girls psp! Mmmm! Nom nom nom!
ortable Ops Camo PSP, Gundam Red and Black PSP, Gold Monster Hunter PSP, light blue Star Ocean PSP, and the two signature series PSP the Tukimi and the Kachofugetsu. They need to just take sony's marketing squad from Japan and premote them to the global marketing group.Just found a special "Pink" PSP that came with a Pink UMD CD. The PSP is pink too. Also its says that the PSP 1000 was availible in pink, blue, and silver... only in japan. Dumbasses

These ads show how a PSP can fit into a normal day and be used for more than just gaming. I belive the north american marketing group needs to show the other things the PSP is capable of, or just rip off the japanese marketing group

Indeed, you are not, as their E3 press conference this year showed. Everyone was cheering when the Hannah Montana bundle was shown.Cpt_Oblivious said:

"Wha'? Inside?"
"Yeah, I'm listenen' to cheese insied! Parmzauwn, cheddah, the workz!"
"Damn bro!"
Seems Sony is unaware that there are whole clans of girl gamers who play games like Unreal Tournament and Quake.
"hey don't forget guys, girls play games to" yes apparently they are only interested in plastic fantastic, soulless, shallow casual games, nope no serous female gamers, not happening. Same gripes I have with games being developed for casual gamers, why make great when good sells better, only this time with a little bit of stereotype masturbation
Gamers games aren't all that complex, if I'm right most of us born in the 80's at first played what we would call hardcore games, Mario, Zelda, Metroid and so on, was it really very hard to comprehend?

Eugh. Wanna bet this is how 40YO male ad execs market to tween girls? When I was that age I was far to busy with Pokemon and Zelda to have touched any of the girly games.
If only they would lower the price on the ps3...
This ad campaign is dumb, but I actually know girls who would be motivated by this.
