Planetside 2 vs The Consoles

[Peacemaker]

I lurk these forums alot and I feel like posting tonight so first let me say, the Devs, are doing an awesome job, I love the community interaction. I loved EVE because of how active the Devs at CCP were with the community, but they seemed to do less and less of it the longer I played. Kinda just felt like the community was drifting apart from the Devs.

ANYWAYS... I'm wondering how much is PS2 and SOE attempting to attract console gamers. Most console gamers game mostly on consoles only, atleast in my circle of friends. They don't use PC's for gaming, they use laptops for Facebook. Lets face it though there is a VERY large market there.

If SOE wants to try to get these people that the best game to play on PC is going to be Planetside 2 I suggest advertisement into more main stream midea. I've read that PS2 can be played on your older computers, so getting people to realize that they can play an epic game on their PCs for FREE should be a big priority right?

Diablo III has television ads all the time, as does WoW. I occasionally go to movies and sometimes I see nice advertisements there. I know it would be expensive and it would mean the game would take longer to make aprofit, but the pay off could be huge. At the least some ads on YouTube. Ads in places other than gaming sites would help. Word of mouth is nice but it seems when I tell my friends about this game most of them just shrug it off because the game is on PC.

Maybe its because most of my friends don't use PCs much anymore, because we all have smart phones/ tablets to surf the web, and laptops to do work on. I hope PS2 can run on an average laptop (if you bought a mouse).

Sorry that was long and drawn out but I havn't posted in a while.

Edit: Damn it hamma, your sig bot ate the thong max sig.
