   I believe Microsoft Xbox One Marketing is great in my opinion it has had 14 years of gaming dominance. For the past fourteen years ,GMR has been a  trusted partner of   Microsoft . They have supported Xbox One at every major point in their rise to the top of the global entertainment landscape. From Xbox Odyssey in 2001 to Xbox Kinect ,and Xbox live . Now for the new generation the much anticipated launch of Xbox One . They have built a global fleet of decked out suvs that tour special events ,retail locations and NFL games across the US ,UK and leading up to an Xbox gaming spectacle at the 2014 Super Bowl.

While Microsoft is touting the Xbox One as a mass-market device essential for any living room, Sony is more narrowly focused on gamers with the PS4. Gamers a typically irascible group  have lovingly embraced the PS4 in response.Whether intentional or not, all the PS4 features announced at the press conference undercut whatever level of buzz Microsoft had generated among gamers    with its Xbox One unveil. Not only will PS4 ($399) cost $100 less than Xbox One ($499), it will not impose any restrictions on game sharing or require any amount of Internet connectivity like the Xbox One does.

Nintendo's  biggest Wii U marketing mistakes
The Wii U has had a slow start, with weak sales and a lack of consumer awareness. Some might argue that the problem is the Wii U itself, but the truth is, even if one believes the Wii U is not the “best” console, consumers aren’t logical entities that create detailed lists of specs and features and then make the “best” choice. Consumers get something because they want it, and sales is the art of making consumers believe they really need something. The problem with the Wii U is not, as some people insist, because the name is stupid or because the console is underpowered; it’s because Nintendo has done a terrible sales job

Failing To Learn From the 3Ds

Bad Advertisements

Fumbled Third Party Support

Not Enough Ads

Too Much Reliance on Word of Mouth

Failing to Show Why Consumers Need the Wii U

Too Few Nintendo Games
