Sony takes pot shots at Xbox 360 Natal
Kevin Butler, the VP of everything at Sony is quickly becoming the face of the Playstation brand. In the latest advert for the Playstation Move, Butler takes some shots at the competition.
For those who may not know, Butler (portrayed by Jerry Lambert) is not really the VP of everything at Sony but a character conjured up by the marketing team at Sony. To Butler/Lambert’s credit, the commercials are pretty funny due to his mannerisms.
In the latest advert by Sony, Butler talks up the Playstation Move from the future. He alleges that he is communicating to us from November 2010, when the “Move†is highly successful.
He later takes a few pot shots at Nintendo’s Wii by indicating that you have to actually swing your arms to box. Butler then takes some jabs at Microsoft’s Natal.
Watch Below:
He states:
Its[Move] also got what we in the future call buttons, which turn out to be pretty important to those handful of millions of people who play shooters, platformers… well anything that doesn’t involve catching a big red ball.
I mean who wants to to pretend their hand is a gun, is this third grade?
After Sony’s press conference at GDC, Nintendo and Microsoft have both been criticizing the Playstation Move. Microsoft called the Move a step back and Nintendo called it a copy. It looks like Sony just fired right back at both companies.

Kevin Butler did it again…
I like how he make fun of one the Natal games where you have to slap balls away from your face
March 18th, 2010
Kevin Butler is the rockstar of the Ps3
March 18th, 2010
Sounds like they’re going to be hyping this thing up as much as Microsoft is with Natal.
Anyway, I found his impression of Wii boxing funny, because it’s actually true.
March 18th, 2010
Love those ads, absolutely love em.
March 18th, 2010
Nintendo called it an embarrassment which is a better description.
March 18th, 2010
love the ad! very funny.
Shame you stil can’t change the fact that you will look like a total spaz crouching in front of your tv pretending to shot someone with two glowing vibrators, trying to hold your balance on a wii fit board or looking like you are having an epileptic fit slapping virtual red balls around.
March 18th, 2010
So the official date for PlayStation Move is November. The red ball Microsoft is getting shot LoL and Wii too. This video is awesome i hope Sony makes more. I like how they tell like it is. Wii Mote needs a major improvement NATAL well that going to flop for sure. Shooting with your finger LoL.

This commercial is awesome. I like the picture of Jack Trenton in there.
Keep up the great work.
March 18th, 2010
phranctoast:
The Jack Trenton pictured was a cool thing that they added. And the video looks awesome and if that’s a commercial Microsoft and Nintendo better be scared as hell especially Microsoft and its little red balls.

hey guys i was just thinking about the games i want to play with MOVE when I relized something
the sub controler {which is anything but optional} doesn’t have motion tracking.so if i were to play dantes inferno I would need 2 moves {one for sowrd and one for the shield} but then how would i move my charecter around??? see the issue.
anyway that’s just an example .use your imagination.
bottom line sub controler needs to be motion sub controler
wht do you think?

DMC is good.
March 18th, 2010

“in the future, we have something called “Buttons”….pretty good for anything that does not involve slaping red balls aways from your face”
LMAOO

March 18th, 2010
Roca.:
“lol they should make a game for Kevin Butler…..”
I was going to write that too. He’s awesome i bet Microsoft is going to start doing a COPYCAT version soon but with a hot girl.

You got nutin buddy. Thats a Gold ad I must say and pretty much sums up what I had been thinking …..
Pew, pew, pew !!!! ROFLMAO

that guy is hilarious! i wish we got them ads in europe.

Nintendo is the embarrassment by releasing a TOY and trying to call it a console what a joke.
March 18th, 2010
Please Nintendo is an embarrassment to the entire industry. What’s so new about “New” Super Mario Brothers Wii? 4 Player co-op? We had 4 player co-op on the NES. All of the levels, music, and game mechanics are directly copy and pasted from other Mario games. That’s an embarrassment.

ncaissie:
Is that the best you old friend?
At least you comment with good grammar so other fools just make me laugh when they try to say something bad about me they amuse me. I response to your funny comment because well is written like man not a child.
I hate the summer because they release nothing good. I’ll be in my damn pool until September.
March 18th, 2010

LOL
I have no idea what he said there.
March 18th, 2010
hah wow.
March 18th, 2010
Liquid letter was full of epicness.
There’s a rumor that in GOW3 theres a cheat, sort of, that activates a room in which you will find a letter, wrote by Kratos himself, saying:
“Dear Ivan,
Die, please.
Sincerely Yours,
Kratos.
P.D: I pissed on your Home-box”
Im wondering wether its real or not?
I guess i’ll wait till tomorrow, when I get my copy of GOW3, to find out if thats true.
March 18th, 2010

@Ivan, the website you posted http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/, I find it interesting that Sony conducted a survey and reckon that cross game chat and PS2 compatibility were not on PS3 users minds, yet the site you provide says otherwise.
March 18th, 2010
2 years and 3 months from now I’ll have my master’s degree…sweet. Hey guys, I’m back. The Future Sega Man has arrived!
I have two questions. Will the Playstaion Move have rumble functionality? And does it ship in different colors? I already have four black ds3 controllers and it’s starting to look a little bland in here
I need variety lol.

The future of sega
the sphere things change colour and will flash when your playing shooters, kind of like a muzzle flash and it does other stuff aswell. i think it has rumble but im not sure.

He’s a child playing with himself and ignored by me.
Oh and harry sachz was back long time ago.
Ghost:

March 19th, 2010
Lol hey Ivan what’s going on? Hey what happened between you and Liquid? I thought we PS3 fanboys were on the same team?? lol well I’m officially neutral at the moment.
I’ve been playing Devil May Cry 4 on my Halo edition 360. Awesome game!!! Have you played it?
March 19th, 2010
ncaissie how many hours did GOW3 take you?
March 19th, 2010
The Future of Sega:
I’m no fanboy trust me on that it might look different but the reality that i make it out to be like that. I play my Xbox 360 a lot GTA IV.
What happen with Liquid i can’t even remember the kid is stupid so i just ignored him he loves making himself look like a fool i don’t bother reading his crap.
God of War III and Heavy Rain i will finish both in just 2 days. That’s my goal no getting stuck 4 not trying hard enough. Regular difficulty but for Heavy Rain if it has a difficulty feature i will play on the hardest as for God of War on Heroe.

March 19th, 2010
@RomasantaMC

What console do you want God of War III for. GameStop is fucking stupid.I will stop buying there fuck them is back to eBay the best place online and Amazon the second best.
March 19th, 2010
@Ivan,
I hate when they try to be smartasses…mostly 360 fagboys work there
March 19th, 2010
“@Ivan,

What do you expect. When you surrounded by nothing but Video Games all day the best one is going to stick out in your mind. Good to know Gamestop employees enjoy the 360 over the compitition.

Roca.:
The guy had a Gears of War II sweater. Also they all stupid when i ask if they had a new game basically the guy when to the computer to check what was that wow. I used to work at a GameStop in Manhattan here in NYC and those were awesome no fanboy like all the GameStop here in the hood how you people like to stereotype LoL.
If my sister comes early i can get my $120 and buy more games. Hospitals ew.
