Sony Thinks Its Audience is Ugly!

[DementedSheep]

What are you talking about? They look like normal kids to me.

 

[Woodsey]

Wow, Seriously sony i knew your marketing was terrible but this is just bad,

You have seen the Kevin Butler ads, haven't you?

*and now after watching the ad*

What the fuck are you on about? They're normal looking people.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I think the point of it is, "these are average people and so are you, so it's for you."
Although I'm pretty sure plenty of older people buy PSP's...
Anyway, if it were a bunch of super skinny sexy supermodels (mmmm, alliteration) or hunky, beefy men people will still complain. Can't win, yo!

So sony goes for real, and its a hard does of reality, I'm going to assume. Meh, I actually like that commercial and how it makes real. They know their target audience, and they're appealing to it.

Actually, I like Sony's advertising. Their commercials make me smile, and when they were advertising GT5, that always made me laugh.

I seriously see no problem with this advertisement, other than the fact that MARCUS! PSP! made only a minor appears in it.

Sony Thinks Its Audience is Ugly!

I hope I don't sound like a paedophile.

They looked like attractive children to me, far from ugly.

... you think the people in that vid are all ugly?
they're not. and in case you hadn't noticed; gamers aren't usually supermodels anyway. it's just a bunch of kids, get over it!

Its funny that instead of trying to discuss the video, and sony's marketing scheme for their consoles, the thread has to become concerned about what the OP thinks, unless you really need to flex your e-cock i'd suggest you jog on.

Wasn't this thread created because YOU thought they were ugly?

Calumon: Pobody's Nerfect you know!

EPIC!

I wouldn't have thought they were ugly at all [Edit: and don't think they are] had you not said anything. Just regular kids. Besides that is NOTHING compared to Microsoft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upXD78-owwQ

 

[Nannernade]

Nothing wrong with the commercial the kid with the braces did startle me a bit though she stares into your soul.

 

[kasperbbs]

What a ridiculous video.. Everyone knows that only super models can afford psp's!

 

[Danpascooch]

They weren't ugly and Sony's marketing is good. Look at Kevin Butler. If you think they're ugly, that's because they were no more than 13 years old for pretty much all of them. If not, I regret to inform you you're coming off as a prick.

Calumon: Pobody's Nerfect you know!

I agree, there was a pretty big mix there, how does the OP define "nerd" anyway?

One thing I found was funny though is that they all had unusual hair styles (except maybe the Asian girl), one guy looked like he just got hit by a tornado

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

It's not nearly as bad as the Dead Space 2 ad, so you'll get no complaints from me.

Did you even read your own original post?

Wow, Seriously sony i knew your marketing was terrible but this is just bad, is this really how you view your audience sony? a group of washed up nerds?

It was all about your opinion on a video, so why the hell would you be surprised that the discussion is about, guess what? Your opinion on a video.

 

[jamradar]

I know right.

Fucking Sony using a diverse group of normal looking people, damn them!

 

[LightspeedJack]

How dare they not use Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansonn to represent the PSP audience!!!

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Bunch of normal people looking extra fabulous airbrushed and dolled up with perfect fucking hair.

Yes. Horrible. How dare you, Sony. How dare you be comparitively realistic.

 

[Denamic]

What is this I don't even.
They look like average people to me.

I DO discuss the video, and I'm not the one saying sony's marketing is bad because they put 'washed up nerds' in an ad.
I didn't see a lot of washed up nerds, you don't mention sony's marketing scheme yourself and I'm pretty sure sony has done more research on their audience than you have, so how do you know that's not an accurate representation of sony's audience?'
But of course you're right, I should jog on. I have better things to do than to watch you fling poo around all night.

Point missed entireley.

Instead of dancing around vaguely with words that are meaningless, you should say what the actual point was. You thought that Sony thinks its audience is ugly and that they view us as nothing but washed-up nerds before giving us a video that shows us a bunch of normal-looking pre-teen and teen kids, none of whom were ugly. Then, you don't even go to expand your point. You dance around vaguely and then get mad at us because we're apparently supposed to be talking about Sony's marketing scheme, which seems to be that they think they're audience for the PSP are teenagers which is probably correct, instead of talking about how we think you're wrong and that these kids aren't ugly and that they aren't marketing to a bunch of washed-up nerds. THEY'RE MARKETING TOWARDS TEENAGERS.

That's not that bad, in fact the infamous NES "Zelda Rap" commercial was much worse. Those are just pictures of a whole spectrum of teenagers.

Even worse look at the commercials for game.com.....

Yah that was kinda a reason it failed.
