The original Game Boy, 1989
Back when ads were cheap and had a voice over to explain everything. The classic Game Boy! Anyone remember those flimsy ear buds with blue and red highlights to know which ear they went in?
Playstation, 1999
Sony pushed the boat out with some very early CGI to create an iconic, creepy ad for the PS1. It still haunts dreams.
Xbox, 2002
Another weird commercial. Microsoft clearly going after Sony’s marketing playbook with this one.
PlayStation 3, 2007
Yep, another weird, creepy ad from Sony as part of a series of shorts for the PlayStation 3.
Nintendo Switch, 2017
Obviously, Nintendo went for the wholesome, community feel for their Super Bowl 2017 advert. I don’t think anyone can ever have as much fun with the handheld as the people in the ad, but the console has been a staple for kids and commuters since it came out. What’s your favourite Switch game?
