"Well put. The reality is, any level of entertainment value is subjective to the individual. I bet there are still people out there who would deem a "ball in a cup" more entertaining than a video game (though I doubt I would ever want to hang out at their place).
I like Sony's current marketing strategy. They are funny and witty. I don't really buy into the whole dissing their competitors because, game console wars are really just a Coke vs. Pepsi debate. Each gaming console has it's own relevance and entertainment value. However, I do understand that these corporations gotta move units so, striking while the iron is hot to market new developments in game consoles is pretty much a necessity. I often wonder though, when it comes to marketing, does mud slinging your competitor really work?
