[quote name='thorbahn3']The title of this episode should of been called "Wombat knows his shit when it comes to marketing" because the whole time he hit the nail on the head.
Also, enough with these name drops. You must of name dropped that you knew so and so about 10 times this episode.[/QUOTE]
Yep. The "PS3 needs games" tripe from CheapyD is not even worth addressing. It's hard to take you seriously when you imply this. It's even harder when you, 40 minutes earlier, contradict this when you discuss the theory of XBL cards dropping in price as a strategic move to sway gamers to the 360 to play their multiplatform online games.
Look, like the system you like, but don't be a in' idiot about it. Allow me to demonstrate:
The Xbox 360 has no games. In order to succeed in this market, it needs games.
Think about how absurd that statement is. Perhaps you'll understand the point. I'm not going to hold my breath over it.
And Wombat is dead on the money when it comes to Sony marketing. It almost seems intentionally done to harm themselves financially. All the way from the 'crying baby in the white room' stuff during the PS3's launch to the "moving pictures on hispter t-shirts in an urban setting" ads of today (lest we forget the "I tell my dumb girlfriend it's a movie machine because only dudes game and women watch oxygen and romantic comedies" ad as of late). Heck, it's been bad going back as far as the "URNOT(red)E" stuff.
Their marketing staff doesn't deserve to be fired. They deserve to be executed. It's that bad. Like Willy Wonka hiring Slugworth to market his products bad.
And they need to expand their PSOne game selection. They have a potential competitor to the Virtual Console, and one that's reasonably priced. But they've sat on it so long that we have nary 26 titles after over 2 years time. PSOne classics help sell PS3s, and give us reasons to keep our PSPs. When they come out, that is.
[quote name='CheapyD']Yeah, but think of all the people that he got to spend $13 a month to come listen to him. Think of how loyal those people are. How many entertainers could do that? Do you think anyone would follow Jay Leno to a pay service?[/QUOTE]
If said pay service came with a baseball bat and three free shots at Leno, I'd give 'em $26 a month for two subscriptions.
And Bill Marrs, good on ya. I don't know much about your site (other than that it's a Game Trading Zone, ha-ha). But I have much more respect for it now. Huzzah.
