Kevin Butler has done wonders for the PS3, helping to inform and entertain consumers for the past year with his imitable style. He comes off as genuine, real... perhaps a little too real. When asked by IndustryGamers if fans write in like he's a real person, SCEA exec Peter Dille gave a surprise response. “That has happened, and while you might think that a consumer or two might be that naive, we've gotten contact from media people that aren't aware that he's a character, asking for an interview!” he said.
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
Kevin Butler's advertising campaign did many things right, from properly advertising the products at hand to poking a bit of fun at not only other companies, but Sony themselves, but most importantly, he advocated for a rare but key belief: Unity amongst gamers.
Wii sold more than PS3. With Wii sales number even Kevin Butler can't resist it. XD
Why the hell did Sony cut this guy loose is beyond me...he was hilarious, fun to watch and I was always looking forward for more, aka perfect!
Imagine him unboxing PSVR or doing lets plays and taking jabs at the competition. They should get him back and give him a weekly show.
Btw why did he leave in the first place?
I'd love to see him do a PSVR commercial. He even made Move look good.
I don't think he actually left. I think the campaign had finished, or Sony moved on. He was just an actor playing a part. Could have potentially been more ads with him, and I would have loved to see him during the PS4 reveal. However, I think with the whole tire ad promoting a WiiU debacle, Sony cut him loose, or he decided it best to not work for them anymore. Or maybe it was never a consideration to bring him back.
I sometimes wonder if they'd work together again though. Would be an awesome come back if done right.
I dunno, maybe that's a petition us gamers should actually get behind.:)
Commercials that actually made my day when I saw a new one release. Who the hell ANTICIPATES and is happy to see ads excitedly? Anyone, who loves Kevin Butler.
-sees MAG in the distance-
The feels...........the feels are all coming back :[
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]

Kevin Butler probably is the best marketing move that SCEA has ever made. He's a great personality for the platform.
If you guys check out the new issue of Gameinformer, They have an interview with KB. Pretty funny. It greats to hear the dude enjoys playing as a Sony VP.
I say give him the interview :)
i saw my first commercial on TV(keyword) yesterday on disney for some reason
