vgprintads:‘Sega Saturn - “Beautiful, Naked Woman”‘[SAT] [USA] [MAGAZINE, SPREAD] [1996]“This is probably the most controversial advertisement to ever run in GamePro, and it came straight from Sega’s marketing department. Readers pelted the GamePro editors with hate mail and threatened to cancel their subscriptions when this two-page centerfold ran in 1996 promoting the Sega Saturn gaming system. It didn’t do Sega any good, though, as the Saturn crashed and burned once Sony moved into position with the PlayStation. Take note: sexy ad campaigns do not a successful next-gen console make.” ~Mike Weigand, GamePro (”The Most Controversial Video Game Ads of All Time” 7/6/2006)Source: GamePro, June 1996 (#93) || RetroMags; E-Day -- source link
