Kevin Butler, you need not worry: Your job as Sony's VP of First Person Shooter Relations is in no threat of ending. Neither is your job as Chief Weaponologist, VP of Epic Footage, VP of Big Action Moments and -- our favorite -- Family Activities Director. In an interview with IGN, SCEA senior vice president Peter Dille talked about the company's new "It Only Does Everything" slogan and marketing campaign. "It's been tremendously successful. Consumers love it. It's great to hear people like you guys love it. And the results are really in the sales because it's really been flying since this coincided in September with the launch of the new PS3."
The tremendous success of the ad campaign has guaranteed its continuation through 2010. "You can expect to see Kevin Butler inject a lot of life into the PlayStation brand between now and the rest of the year," Dille commented, and promised we'd see the tagline quite a bit "when motion control comes onto the scene." We personally cannot wait to see the ad Butler will star in for the PlayStation Motion Controller.

Sony finally hit a homerun with marketing the PS3. They should roll with it until the wheels fall off. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the launch of Heavy Rain.

Yea believe me after 2 years of the same kinds of ads you will go crazy and probably change the channel every time you see one. Seriously I'm actually happy i don't have to be hearing someone telling me to Taste the Rainbow!

I don't believe that. Look at how long the Sega Scream ads ran. People were demanding them for years until Moore finally brought them back for the SegaNet launch.
KitKat has used the "Give Me A Break" for a long time as well.

Yea i know but the thing is that come on when i see a Kit-Kat commercial i feel like shooting myself seeing people dancing to this "Give me a Break" slogan. I'm not saying that it wont last a long time its just going to get old.

They hit a home run with Kevin Butler...then struck out hard with The Tester.
Dammit, there should be a Murphy's Law addition for that.

Butler is awesome. These are some of the best ads I've seen in a long time.
Any word on a KB Super Bowl ad?

Kevin Butler and this new slogan are the best thing to happen to PS3 marketing since they ditched those creepy launch ads for those awesome "Universe Of Entertainment" ones.
I mean the original ones had their charm and I actually kinda liked them, but that baby doll ad was just the weirdest and most confusing thing ever.. it made me NOT want one lol

who's in charge of this ad campaign? They deserve a medal of honor from Sony.

Suggestion for Sony: make Kevin Butler the MC for the Sony press conference at E3.
