No I have not in fact. I don't watch much TV, and so the fact that I managed to catch all 3 of those PS3 commercials says something about the money Sony is putting into this (or it's chance, and well, grouping is to be expected in extremely large numbers, I said mix these mixed nuts! I see two almonds touching!). At any rate, I haven't caught a single Wii commercial, at all, except in a store display that reeked of "informercial". They really are playing this whole "for the non-gamer crowd" thing to the hilt. Everything about the commercial they had running in that store was directly intended for NOT our kind of people. If shorter versions of that are what I can expect on the telly, then at the very least Nintendo's ads actually describe the product, even with a pathetic skew of "and now for amazing astoundings" style to it.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
