New PlayStation Move Ad Taunts Microsoft And Nintendo

Sony's fictional VP of everything, Kevin Butler, is at it again. The latest advertisement continues the line of humorous PlayStation commercials. This time Butler is the "VP of Realistic Movements," and he's talking from the future about the PlayStation Move. The commercial contains some thinly veiled jabs at Microsoft and Nintendo's motion control technology.

Sony has a pretty good sense of humor, but is this satirical poke at the motion control gold rush taking it too far?

For more from the make-believe Sony spokesman, be sure to follow him on Twitter.

I love it.

AANNNDD I don't care that I'm first.

but I love the pokes and jabs at the other companies, and hope to see the same from them.

That kind of worked. All of a sudden I like the PS3 more. And I hate it more too. I don't know.

Imma' go lie down.

Eh, I dislike motion controls, I'd rather just sit down and use a controller than actually have to move like I'm in the game when I'm not.

i think it's pretty funny, but natal is more unique to me. move seems more like a rip of the wiimote to me. this is coming from a ps3 owner too. probably not going to get Move anyways so it really doesn't matter to me.

hahaha....rofl. Stick it to em sony!
by WedgetheRonin Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:46 PM

LMAO at the button part.Sony FTW
by Gamer 4 life Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:46 PM

haha I love it. Although I probably won't get this useless peripheral. Can't wait till the "motion control" fad dies out.
by iProdigy101 Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:47 PM

Sony is acting stupid in this commercial. Microsoft and Nintendo is clearly still ahead of them, especially Nintendo. Their PS Move is nothing more than an intimation of the Wii Remote. While Natal uses the whole body, and more.
by David Schwartz Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:52 PM

lol that's great. I think this was funny without going to far unlike the apple ads. I would love to see Microsoft strike back(don't Nintendo doing so).
by kittygamer88 Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:52 PM

I didn't think they were that bad *shrug* As much as I love Nintendo, the PS1 was the 2nd major consol I played with with my sister, so I say keep 'em comin'!

The Button bit had me rollin.
by Jim Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:56 PM

ahahah very funny but sony is last in sales and the psp was an epic failure soooo i would say they have to prove sumthing b4 they can talk trash but still i love these commercials
by grantryne Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:56 PM

I absolutly hate this guy. the first commercial with Dustin Pedroia was funny, but after that, they just needed to stop.
by maddkilo Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:57 PM

lmao funny

by InfectedCrypt666 Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:58 PM

The commercial is funny but it still doesn't change my mind about the Vibrator. They better not stop packing in the DualShock 3 anytime soon.

But, at the very least, it's good to see Sony making fun of Nintendo and Microsoft for once.
by rmeyer Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:59 PM

it has some nice fluid movement I'm impressed, still the games are crap on Playstation so I don't see the point unless they come out with something as cool as Gears of War
by Gardocki Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 06:59 PM

So they copy the idea and look of the Move from Nintendo then make fun of them?

Give me a break Sony.
