Sony Can Learn From Activision In Terms Of Marketing

Activision as well as many other companies has proven they can market and stand behind their games as publishers and get results. Sony needs to fall in that category as soon as possible or games as big as God Of War won't be as big as it could be without the proper promotion.

So, now you're an analyst consulting game publishers?? lmao. Sony didn't blowout consoles for a decade not knowing how to market. You think you know better than them? The problem with Sony now is the lack of, in some cases, marketing for the many games they put out.

But, marketing is not what Sony needs to sell games. They need a price cut so a wider range of demographics can afford PS3s and in return buy more games. Can't be little 13 year olds buying all those $400.00 PS3s each month.

And what's with the title? If you feel Activision is doing something right-- other publishers might not be doing, why is it only Sony that needs to learn? Pointless hit driven articles....

Chage the "Activision" to "Microsoft".

$ony is delusional, they still think they are top dog and don't have to market their games. Look whats happening, PS exclusives are lucky to sell over 1 million this gen.

Sony Rep5887d ago (Edited 5887d ago )

haha. tough talk. PS3 exclusives sell 700k(KZ2) in a span of three days; can sell upwards of 1.7mil(MGS4) in a week... yet they can't seem to sell a million lifetime units....? hahaha

-MoOkS-5887d ago

Killzone 2 sales, after 1 week = 800k world wide

Halo3 sales, after 1 week = 4 million

PS3 "exclusives" sell 700k(KZ2) in a span of three days

You use the plural there lets hear some more.......

And K2 sold 1ml in 2months and thats not something to brag about, now if MS was selling/marketing K2 it would out sold 1ml in a day

Sony needs to learn from the masters

Get that fan boy crap out of here. Grow up and stop choosing sides.

Sony Rep5887d ago (Edited 5887d ago )

haha. what. the. fcck. do. you. care?

You don't even own a PS3. PS3 games sell well enough to have sequels come out for them every year, and that's all that matters.

Activision is worthless, they are completely mudering Guitar Hero.

I hope InfinityWard leaves them because they are quickly becoming my least favorite game publisher.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor3h ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

MaximusPrime_3h ago

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
