Is There Some Reason.

Now on TV the up and coming Call Of Duty Modern War Fare 2 is going on sale on Tuesday (just some information, Game in Queens Street Cardiff is opening at 12.00.01 on Tuesday, so wish I could see the line). Now to be fair to all Consoles, not including Nintendo Consoles (Narrowing it down to 2 Companies Microsoft and Sony), the advert for COD Modern War Fare 2, at the end is advertised for Xbox. Now I know I partly own an Xbox which I love and should be liking the advert, but at the same time I don't own a PS3 but love that as I am a big Sony fan, also I think it is a bit rude that they are not showing that COD Modern War Fare 2 or even another Multi platform console game is on other consoles.

I have a theory why they could be doing this:
Many people know that it is coming to their desired console and therefore the company doesn't need to advertise the game.
The company is really Money safe and can't be bothered to make an advert about the game with their console one it.

The big Company name that doesn't show Multi Platform games on there console are Sony. The only time they show an advert including any of their consoles is when they have a new exclusive game coming out and not all the time they create an advert. I am not trying to slag off Sony but this is more advice which I am not telling Sony. They really could be losing a lot of money from not advertising enough and not selling as many consoles and games as they wish. If they are doing big advertisements in America and making money from games and consoles over there I don't know, but they could be making even more money over in other countries including United Kingdom.

Techinally Gaming Definition.

This evening, my older brother who isn't or not the biggest gaming fan commented on the PS3 when an Xbox advert was on. He first noted how Microsoft made the Xbox look much smaller than the Xbox Elite (which it is not). After that I then notified him that the PS3 Slim the same size as the Xbox. Then making the funniest comment on the original PS3 I have ever heard.

This is the Quote of the Day from my Brother:
"It doesn't surprise me that the slim is the same size as the Xbox as thePS3 is massive. It's like one whopping great big Fridge which should be inyour kitchen. If someone didn't know What it was they would say 'Shouldn't that be in your kitchen.'"

Whats Not Gaming.

I have been recently watching trailers of game consoles which have been shown at E3 in America. There are many new things which are coming to game consoles soon like:-
Project Natal on the Xbox 360
The wireless Wand for the PS3
Wii upgrade for the Wii fit
and more.

The one really annoying thing is why are some of the games consoles trying to attract families into playing. These game consoles I am taking about the XBOX 360. When they advertised the Project Natal for Xbox 360 they used families to advertise it. Also with my brother owning an Xbox which I also play on (as I only have a PSP which is good and PS2 which I don't play on), on there Market Place they have done a category named family games. WHY. I know for a fact that not many families at tall play the Xbox 360 together (with the exclusion of the Buzz Quiz games) and not many watch videos together. At this moment in time I am actually respecting the Nintendo Wii.

The Wii's target market are families creating more games for families to play and this is there aim. Although I do disagree with a sentence I read about the new game for the Wii 'Punch Out.' An old arcade game on the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) in a gaming magazine insert which said "Had it been too easy though, the game would have certainly upset the HARDCORE Nintendo gamers;" As it is a family console, there is no Hardcore gamers anywhere. But I still have respect for Nintendo.

Back to the point, the Wii tells the truth other than the Xbox 360 and not leaving out the best games console the PS3. The only thing the PS3 does is advertise it with either only one person or or a group of friends which people do play with the PS3.

The Xbox 360 advertises families playing on the Xbox, also the Xbox being down stairs which I know not many people have, they are mostly in bedrooms and the question is, why not advertise them there. Also the Xbox having a movie store, and this is something which Microsoft always advertise with families watching movies which are brought on the market place. For a couple of more pounds you can own a hard copy of it without loosing it when you get the ring of fire.

In conclusion, what I am trying to get to, if you don't understand it under all my blogging rage is that Microsoft Xbox 360 should advertise what people use the Xbox for and what type of people actually use it.
