Support NeoGAF

[criesofthepast]

Imagine you're a twitter user, you play games, but you didn't know the PS4 was something that existed. Bam, now you do. Even without clicking on it, you get a ton of basic awareness. And that's possible in part because they kept the naming scheme.

It is probably a lot cheaper than a commercial as well and seen by a lot more eyes.

Anyone know how much a sponsored TT actually cost? I can't see it being more than $100,000 max.


Edit: Seems in 2011 it was a cool $120,000 a day for a sponsored TT. Probably a lot more today. Damn.

No shots have even been fired as of yet.

Shots have been fired for months by brave men and women, lurking in the shadows and doing what they have been trained to in silence. No recognition, no glory, only the hard, dirty, dangerous work that takes place on all sides in the shadows and forgotten places of the console war.

They seem to have also bought up a lot of YouTube ads today, too. That console reveal teaser is the newest skippable ad at the start of every video I'm watching, and there's a huge banner for it to the right of certain videos.

I find that teaser so boring. I think just having the PS4 logo with the startup sound from the PS Meeting would be more effective as at least it sounds cool and has some visuals that you can look at.

That blurry PS3 Slim OTOH can't generate that much hype.

Just got an email from Sony promoting E3 titled "There's News...and then there's PS4 News". LOL

I enjoy this playful back and forth. I expect some from MS at some point today.
