ITT: we rate consoles solely on their marketing slogans.

I give this one a 9/10. It doesn't make me physically cringe, even though it tries a little too hard to be edgy. That said, it was appropriate for its time.

In Germany, where it wasn't sure that people would get the "get N" pun the slogan was "A new dimension of fun"

fairly generic but it still tries to keep a bit of a wordplay with "new dimension" because of the jump to 3D. 7/10

The way the console market is going, 9th Gen consoles aren't going to do so well against PC. Nintendo will eventually make third party titles, Microsoft will probably do what Steam is doing in the PC market and Sony will either probably be bought by WB/AT&T or Comcast/Universal, since Disney is too broke to buy out Sony.

They're not wrong, though.

It's like how every other 00's FPS was being marketed as "The Halo Killer", calling your product "the Halo killer" just ensures that people will always think of Halo when they think of your product. It's basically free advertising for your competition.

Right. Same with every MMO being a “wow killer”. Basically calling your product a knockoff

Pepsi and Coke used to do this in the 90s, so did Disney and Universal.

Times were better back then because we weren't as polite.

>>6873472
This for instance pisses a lot of people off, but even bad publicity is still good advertising as all you ahve to do is hold people's attention. The only thing that stayed that spicy was the (((nes))), except they stopped smiling while talking about death and such.

>> No.6876103

I miss how overt and fun marketing used to be. It was an obvious attempt to sell you something and you didn't care because you either wanted to buy the product or not. Nowadays marketing is so insidious, joyless and forced (in the sense of trying it 'be on the same level' as the consumer) that no one has the balls to actually market anything in a fun way anymore.

The Switch is a console/handheld hybrid actually. You've also not been paying attention because recently consoles have been a decline in recent years. Even my nephew sold his consoles to build his own PC and buy games for it. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo won't last too long. I use to be very supportive of console gaming, until the reveal of the PS5 made me realize I should give up on consoles and start building my own PC. I really wish there was a better option, but I think now is a good time to say goodbye to consoles.

Stan Lee is really crappy at taking shots at DC. All he managed to do is get me to give DC a chance. Same with the Apple ads bashing on PC, I went straight for building my own PC instead of buying an Apple computer.

PS2 - The Third Place

Twin Peaks reference. Not to spoil anything there's two inter-dimensional places in the series, where this slogan would serve as a portal to a third place.
Back then the stranger the commercial the better and Twin Peaks was very popular in Japan, it made total sense for grown-ups and young adults who had watched the show.
