Want to be a "chick magnet" in Tokyo? Why not pick up Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G? This ad from PlayStation shows fashionable Japanese females getting together for an Ad-Hoc game of the popular PSP exclusive. Don't you wish you could join them? (Also, why does a game as successful as Monster Hunter need to advertise?)

How long has it been since you've seen a McDonald's commercial?

The fact that something is successful doesn't mean you should stop advertising it. In fact, it means you should advertise it even more and expand your market.

@Gaucho : I agree , as much as I want I dont see no female gamers where I live . I dont know about you all but the "female gaming market" expansion that Nintendo mentioned cant be sen where I live ...

But maybe its just for Nintendo consoles :P

Anyways , so because of this commercial can we expect even more MHP2G sales next week ? :P

I think girls play videogames more casually than boys.

In fact there isn't much games for the female public.

The ones i know who like to play enjoy racing games or solitaire...

Alien said...

Well yeah , they definatly are mostly casual gamers ... hell the only game my sister has on her PC for ages now is Siberia :P

Greetings^_^

Am a girl, and am a huntress. I play MHP2ndG now, and HR9. I use Dual swords, Greatsword and Hammer as my main weapons now. I do solo hunt a lot ^_^

I sure hope there will be more huntress.
