Sony has kicked off a brand new ad campaign in Japan for the PLAYSTATION 3 and I have to admit, it looks awesome.

The campaign shows 3 people holding up aspects of the PS3 such as the console itself, a Blu-Ray disc and a SIXAXIS as well as 3 other posts containing gaming characters.

Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4
Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet
Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII

No, that is correct, this ad campaign is being spearheaded by Final Fantasy XIII on the PLAYSTATION 3. Do remember that the game is still a exclusive for the PS3 in Japan unlike here in Europe and North America where it will be coming to the Xbox 360.

I’d like to make a quick announcement about this catagory, you’ll be gald to know Sllicon Knights and Denis Dyack will not be on the list.
