Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Venom 2 has 33m views on the Sony YouTube Channel, that's not bad
Spiderman No Way Home is currently sitting at 36m views and 11m on Marvel's Channel

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Both this and Ghostbusters Afterlife have had massive positive reactions.
They're literally the biggest movies coming out this year.

They sold MGM though, but I agree.
Didn't understand that myself.

Yeah the controllers at the end was like WTF? I skipped back a few frames to see if If I missed a low-key Spiderman No Way Home PS game announcement or something but nothing.
Then again anything attached to a niche-man trailer will get lots of viewers so can see why Sony capitalized on the opportunity

I don't know, maybe they have stock of the DualSense but not stock of the console.

Imagine if Insomniac had a Spider-man 2 trailer or teaser ready
but I agree it's smart advertising

I'd expect some adverts for the console and maybe showing closer to launch too, maybe even mentioning the Spider-Man content that's coming to the Avengers game at the end of the year too. I know Avengers isn't a good game and the Spider-Man content is probably tiny that can be enough when people are excited for films like this approaching Christmas.

Pretty stupid actually considering how many millions of people can’t get a PS5 because Sony can’t meet demand.
So in the meantime Sony should cease all advertisement until they’ve reached demand and have a steady supply stream? Yeah, that’s fucking stupid.

Add it to the list. Team work lol.
Dude. I'm going to skip the Last of Us TV show and just replay the remaster on PS5, on Grounded. The Superior Show, interactive, too. Lol.

Link your dualsense to the movie to feel all kinds of haptic feedback.
Someone should do that.

It's called a shortage and it's not just Sony.

It's an advertisement for the DualSense controllers, you dimwit.

You don't work for a marketing department, right?
The issue of limited supply generate even more demand. People see this and think 'shit! I really need to search for it and buy finally' and once they buy it, they feel as if they achieved something.

I did watch Wanda Vision and Loki: they were super MEH: great potential just totally wasted.
I am excited for Spiderman 3, and I am interested in Dr. Strange 2, but the rest of the Phase 4 can just go to hell: Endgame is the one that ended a real experience.

Well Sony sold 50% of flim related merch profit rights to disney. Which includes all spiderman merch with a limited timeframe of a spiderman’s movie release. Sony still has the electronic first-dibs merch rights.
So they obviously leveraged something to gain the console game rights away from Activision. Which if it was the film merch rights in exchange of the console gaming rights, it was the right call.

Well if I was Disney. I would release lesser marvel characters now, while they can ride the coattails of the recently departed popular characters. Then introduce Xmen and Fantasic Four, to have other “Avengers” sized movies. Plus those characters’ film rights were just recently purchased from Fox.
That’s why disney was begging for Sony to let them use Spiderman. They needed him to tidy up the MCU till their reveal.

Would've been perfect to have Spider-man-themed controller in there.

You wouldn’t? The trailer has lit up the internet.
Over 16 million views on Twitter, over 12 million views on Marvel YouTube, over 40 million on Sony Pictures…. That’s in 24 hours…
It’s called marketing.
Talking out of your ass, the trailer only shows the first act. “Spoils the previous movie” Wut ahaha

Not necessarily, if you have a PC, Steam supports the DualSense.
Plus you have DS4Windows. Metro Exodus and AC Valhalla both support the DualSense's features.

Ps5 doesn't even need advertising. I've had aunts and uncles who have never played games in their lives talking about it. They were even surprised I had one. How do they even know about stock issues?

I mean, it’s fucking crass… but given how many eyeballs there are on the trailer, it’s also good marketing.

It’s become a myth, the stuff of legends.
PS5 has gone beyond our mere mortal realm. Its a incorporeal entity. The talks of its greatness getting passed down generations, as in your case.
agreed, this is crazy smart marketing. they know people LOVE spider-man and not everyone knows about the new controller colors...simple math, now you know 50+ million people will now know about the new colors

That spode man's identity was revealed. And also spoils the plot about them trying to fix it but it goes wrong.

Is it a shortage though? Like a real shortage? They are making the most launch\post launch consoles in Earth's history. How much faster should they be asked to make PS5s? How can they go faster than the fastest in history? This ISN'T a supply problem.
It's a demand problem. There's just too much demand for the PS5 world-wide (except in Japan of course).
Plump marketing, so yes, weird flex. Telling you as someone who gets paid to avoid this kind of shit. But I know how this kind of things happen. Maybe some high rank manager wanted it. You can imagine it like this:
Boss: "Ey, we got Spidy on our Playstation right? Do we have Playstation thing in trailer?"
Expert: "No, it doesn't fits, but we are working ou ..."
Boss: "Put a fucking PlayStation thing right at the end of the trailer. Best idea I ever had!"
Expert: "But ..."
Boss: "Do it!"
Alternatively there is someone on duty who just doesn't care or doesn't knows how to do smart marketing. Communication deparature at Sony always seemed a bit "old fashioned and not so good". So, this also fits.
I imagine that Disney/Marvel also has set strict guidelines here. Relationships don't seem to be the best these days.
