    Pretty damn good again. They're totally taking the piss out of all those Wii lifestyle commercials. Best Easter Egg is the New Zealand flag on the wall. Some will remember that a New Zealand TV station totally ripped off KB's commercial. He's just showing some love back.
     
    Haha. Brilliant.

    It needs more Butler. I feel like they just put five seconds of KB at the beginning so everyone would think this lame ad is awesome.

    Maybe it's an attempt to take the piss out of them, but to me, it kinda just looks like another one of them.

    @ProfessorEss: To me, that's the joke. The ridiculous over-acting. The face-pulling. The chocolate milk (lol). The music. The slow-mo.
     
    I dunno. The Mum and Grandad made me chuckle a ton.

    To a certain extent, it has to retain a bit of that "mass appeal" of colour coordinated wardrobes and happy family gaming. I think it does a good job by not completely alienating the pre-existing "hardcore" audience.

    They certainly know how to market. That was quite clever. 
     
    Of course, can their marketing be backed up by titles that support it?

    @Goldanas: As I've said in countless Move threads, I think Sports Champions' table-tennis mode is absolutely fantastic. Might not sell you on the motion controls alone (perhaps nothing will), but they've announced over 50 games for this thing now.  Echochrome II and Tumble look really good too, but I've not played them.
     
    Either way, Sony's delivering plenty outside of Move so it doesn't really matter.
     
    I agree it was a smart commercial though. I think BinMan88's right -- they totally made a "Wii-esque lifestyle commercial", but they made it fit into the ethos that Sony's been trying to convey with Move -- i.e. it's still an accessible motion controller, but it's "hardcore" (if you like) too.
     
    I think they're assuming Microsoft's going to do the whole happy-smiley commercial thing with Kinect too. This gives them a bit of separation from both the Wii and Kinect, while essentially saying the absolute same thing.
     
    The Modnation Kevin Butler vs. Jack Tretton ad is still my favourite, mind.
     
    EDIT: Oh, and if it was Move shooters you were after Goldanas, MAG will support it soon after launch.

    Move will not succeed financially, Its too similar to the wii for the average consumer and they already have a wii.  ''Why should I buy this 300 dollar console when my wii already does the same''. Kinect is different enough so it might work but the price is too high.

    @get2sammyb:  
     
    Sports Champions looks good, I will agree, and I will probably pick it up, but, yes, it is not the experience I'm looking for. A collection of minigames is good for a party, but I'm looking for more games like Sorcery. 
     
    When he mocks the idea that motion controls are just for kids, the commercial goes on to barely show any game that has any breadth of depth. I want to see something truly innovative and expansive with the Move, not a series of minigames. 
     
    To each his own, of course, my man. They have met your market. They have yet to meet mine.

    And with the market flooded with even more motion controll bullshit. The golden age of gaming comes to a screeching halt. Enter Kevin Butler. 
    Now was that fucking brilliant or what?

    @Goldanas: I hear you. I think they've got your back covered in post-2010 with Sorcery, Killzone 3, SOCOM, Heroes On The Move, etc. It might have dropped a few quid by then too.
     
    @Dylabaloo: I think it'll be fine. It's not going to be Wii success, nor will it outsell Kinect this holiday, but I actually think it's going to have legs. 50-or-so game announcements suggests the publishers are getting behind it. I think it's going to be a moderate success.

    He was on for probably 10 seconds. It wasn't really necessary to put him in this ad.
     
    Also, at least Sony is willing to support one of their new peripherals. Hardly anybody supports any of the Wii accessories.

    I don't understand Giant Bomb at all. Most of the site bashes the Wii for having gimmicky motion controls and terrible controls for "serious" games, then they praise Move, which is essentially Wii Motion Plus.

    how is this ad "making fun" of the Wii ads again? Because it's EXACTLY the same as those. It's showing people look like assholes playing the same type of games as the Wii.

    A lot of people are, there was a poll and most people said it looks awesome and they are going to buy it. At least that's what the poll said when I viewed it.
