Forums - Sony Discussion - New Advertising Campaign for PS3 in Japan

 

While Sony has gained a reputation for its bizarre, off-the-wall advertisement campaigns in recent times, the platform holder has opted to take a decidedly more subtle approach with its most recent effort in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The company’s latest onslaught takes the form of various posters hung up throughout subways across Japan, depicting numerous PlayStation 3 titles, both new and old. In addition, the firm has also included a series of advertisements showcasing individuals posing with various PS3-related products.

We've included all of the advertisements below.

According to Andria Sang, some of the posters translate to the following:

"The PS3 ad says "Everyone awakens here."

The MGS4 ad says something like "Finish the MISSION to completion."

The Sackboy ad says "IMAGINATION that's learned from play."

The one with the girl holding a disc says "Beauty like a DREAM."

The one with the guy doing a mind meld with the controller might say "The PRIDE of exceeding super realism."

I'm liking the look of those posters, very eye-catching. Looks like Sony is finally starting to get it's act together in Japan, the poor platform sales for the last few months must have spurred them into action.

Much better than some of the crap they've brought out recently.



Good. A combination of good looking posters with a nation where the subway is very widely used sounds like an increase in sales to me.

I wish I could buy one.



i hope what they say sounds better in japanese.

Nice posters, but a price drop and more typical Japanese games will do the entire sale-boost trick.

No it doesn't :-/

And why would they add a xbox symbol anyway, since it's a Japan exclusive...

It's not a 360 logo... it's a part fo the art. Also, the 360 logo always has Xbox 360 written with it.

 



The text in the very first (Final Fantasy) poster image in the OP says, "COURAGE to pursue the truth".
