In yet more news to show that the next gen is indeed coming, SCEA has announced that they’ve brought on a new ad agency after working with Deutsch/LA for 6 years (almost the whole PS3 generation).

Here are ten reasons why we still love the original PlayStation.
Resi 1 and Crash 1 these games go together in my nostalgia filled memory as the start of PS brand afficionando ....and objectively and curiously still remain untouched peaks in their genres ...nothing came close to them
Sony has launched a new video series called, Playstation VR Developer Diaries. The first of the five-part video series, which glances back at the project’s early days is live now, so check it out!
Good informative video in post, but did you notice something in the video that maybe very interesting in further development's for VR in PSVR?
Something Many might have not caught on about PSVR, and its a really good idea to have the Headset built with this functionality in the headset, and its pretty good that it's included..
I know what it is, I want to see if other people caught it..Hint: it has to do with tracking in VR!
Take careful notice in the 1min 9 to 12 second's of the video..
It's there. And it's a real further Key what Sony has intended to add with PSVR in the future of its tracking.
Interesting… notice that during 0:22 – 0:24 of the video, 3 black bands appear, quickly whip around then disappear into PS VR. I think those 3 black bands hint at PS4 Neo's exterior design. [1]

Mark Kriska of Mammoth Gamers continues his console wars piece with a closer look at the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.
This article is wrong in some aspects.
- PS3 has a successful E3 2005. Other than the questionable boomerang controller, everyone was excited about the console. It was E3 2006 that ruffled people's feathers.
- Xbox 360 actually had the slowest start of all 7th gen consoles. PS3 and Wii sold at a faster rate at their respective launches and all throughout most of the generation.
- How can you say that PSN failed? It implemented many features that we take for granted nowadays such as using actual local currency instead of a contrived points system, not locking many of the console's functionalities behind a paywall, having Cross-Buy right out of the gate starting with PS1 Classics, offering AAA games release day one along with the retail version, allowing Remote Play to be accessed anywhere in the world, starting out the gate with dedicated servers, offering a subscription service that gives plenty of value via PS+, and it was nowhere as restrictive as XBL. That sounds like a success to me.
- PS3 actually came in second place because it was always selling at a faster pace than 360 since day one when you align their launches. PS3 ended up selling 86 million while 360 sold 85 million. This is significant because PS3 had one less year on the market and was more expensive throughout most of its life compared to the 360.
- Xbox 360 may have ended up being the favorite platform in North America, but you can't say the same for the rest of the world. In regions such as Europe, Asia, and RoW the PS3 and Wii were always more prominent. That's why those platforms were able to outsell 360 in total sales.
The important thing is to not try and make something award winning, but something that actually sells hardware/software.
Michael was good I don't see why they fired themm, although they did Kevin Butler aswell which was the best thing which came out of them
Sony are really trimming the fat latley...getting in shape and cutting the weak loose ends from this gen.
Well while the Michael ad was good, that was the only good thing to come out from them lol, if i were sony i would hire actual playstation network users, they have the passion and i think some of them would do a better job than all those marketing companies lol.
i would love to see " Universe of Entertainment" coming back again with a new slogan for psvita " Entertainment on the Go"
please no weird crying baby student film commercials
If this means MORE ads then fine, thats great. However this company came up with really good ad ideas this generation. The problem wasn't the content, it was the lack of slots. It took them a while to get away from "being serious" and to Kevin Butler, but even the serious ones put interest in things.
Like I said, more slots, thats all they need. You can have the worst commercials ever, but have enough slots to hammer it home, and you are gold. Look at Geico.
