Today you will find a warm tube advertising. This time is much less ancient than in previous releases. Under the cut - a PlayStation 4 ad from Leonard Nimoya, Microsoft trolling and other beautiful XboX One and Wii U ads.
Nintendo Wii U
The seventh generation Nintendo Wii console wasn’t a competitor to the PS3 and Xbox 360. It targets a wide audience, including home-grown athletes, yogis and retirees. Nintendo realized this mistake in the approach to the target audience and decided to attract a more serious gaming audience to the Wii U. Nintendo retained the reverse support of Wii controllers and toys.
Nintendo Wii U in 2012 opened the era of the eighth generation of consoles. One of the key features of the console was the gamepad with a 6.2-inch touchscreen display, which allowed displaying some functions and controls in games on a separate screen. In some games, the gamepad allows you to partially replace the TV. ')
