New Xbox Trailer Is All About the Super Bowl with Travis Kelce, Richard Sherman, & Aaron Greenberg

It's the Super Bowl weekend, so it's not surprising that there are some themed trailers and ads popping up, like this Xbox one just released by Microsoft.

I think this was a missed opportunity on Microsoft's part. No mention of the Series X, no Series X release window, no clips of current games, no advertisement of Xbox Game Pass for only $9.99 a month.
There's barely anything about Xbox in this....

Things like this irk me because it indicates how out of touch Microsoft can be. Game Pass is great and XCloud is impressing everyone that's used it....but they can be a lot more aggressive with their ads (especially since this is a 3 minute Superbowl ad that probably cost them millions).

OMGitzThatGuy1547d ago

So you want them to take the theme of Sports and use the opportunity to spam new console messaging? The new consoles don't release until late in the year, Superbowl is tomorrow, why make it convoluted? Game pass doesn't have the newest sports games when they release so why is that relevant to a themed video? And this isn't the Superbowl commercial, they may have something tomorrow, who knows. You are the one that is seriously out of touch if you think Microsoft, let alone any brand, is paying for a 3 minute ad when it costs more than 5 million USD for a 30 second ad.

LOGICWINS1547d ago

No. I would have avoided the theme of sports all together. How many movie trailers that are shown during the Superbowl are about sports?

The majority of these adverts during the super bowl aren’t even sport related

We had a Rick and Morty one about Pringles...

I'm afraid its you whos out of touch. Remember how the Xbone reveal had such a huge American centric showcase? NFL and American TV? What did that do to sell the Xbone to the rest of the world? Absolutely nothing. If anything that reveal can easily explain why MS' position in the EU weakened so much this gen.

A full console showcase at the super bowl? How on earth does that generate hype anywhere outside of the US?

LOGICWINS1547d ago

Where did I say I wanted a “full console showcase”? I’m saying that if you want to advertise a gaming console... showing games (shocking I know) might be a good idea.

"No mention of the Series X, no Series X release window, no clips of current games, no advertisement of Xbox Game Pass for only $9.99 a month."

You're literally asking for it right here. Also, advertising this far out from release is a huge waste. Definitely not a good idea like you're suggesting.

This isn't a Super Bowl ad.

You are so out of touch if you think this will be playing during the super bowl

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss7d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

jznrpg5d ago

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast7d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

shining force.

but indont see that happening unfortunately.
