Do people really have to be spoon-fed to buy a PS Vita? People can't do simple research and/or go to the store and try it out? The system is more than worth it and the PS Vita will have so many good games coming out in the next few months. Let's not forget the 400+ PSP games that's available for the Vita right now so there are games to play.

it's called advertising man. you and i are in the 'know' but the general public is not. that is the sole purpose of advertising. It's not towards us but to everyone else. the fact that this ad doesn't even show the Vita, but rather talks about how 'my experience is different from yours' and leaves it at that is idiotic. They didn't even bother showing a game or a montage of games or what you can do with it. Nintendo 3DS at least tries to make everything 'pop' and show games on it. Sony didn't even bother doing that... their advertising is 'too smart' if you understand what i mean. ONLY the people who already know what a Vita is will understand that ad. Everyone else is left confused.

People who are slightly interested will google to find out about it. I know that's what they want people to do. They see Sony in the advertisement and see a short confusing video.

then i think Sony is overestimating just how people see advertisements. which is usually a nuisance, and on rare occasion funny. I'm not marketing person, didn't do the courses for that stuff, but i'm willing to actually bet that MOST people who see this ad will not look up what the hell Sony was just advertising. There really shouldn't be any of these kinds of games in advertising, just show the damn product.

Seems to be a teaser portion to a more competent commercial (like they did with their "Michael" ad). But yeah, that was unusual. :?

A five second clip doesn't give us much context. It could be brilliant, for all we know.

Right....a six second clip of a girl getting her nails done and saying that her world is not the same as ours and then people suddenly cheer.

I'm serious, they need to quit trying to be creative, cute and fancy.

They need a commercial showing up the Vita up close and at different angles, explain how it is the first handheld with 2 joysticks, show off the graphics, front and rear touch pad, and just show in clear detail what the system is, what it does and what it is capable of.

Sony only wanted to accomplish one thing with that ad: to get people talking. And they have succeeded. But of course, you simpletons are too blind to see this.
