While the dual analog set-up and the new metal look is at least a teeny bit believable, but I can't say the same about the rest. So, want to know what these silly facts are? Okay, here we go.

Sony has now confirmed that they have yanked the ads and banished them to a mysterious marketing misfire graveyard. The decision was made based on the global reaction to an ad that was largely aimed at a specific country said a Sony representative. The representative also said that, we wish to apologize to those who perceived the advert differently to that intended. Sony will apply greater sensitivity in our selection of campaign imagery and their impact in other countries. One shocking thing was that Sony claims to have only received a single complaint from within the Netherlands. It clear from this that Internet always has a global eye on the moves of a large and popular corporation.

The Company insufficiently defended themselves to GamesIndustry.biz with the following: "The marketing campaign for the launch of the White PSP in the Benelux focuses on the contrast between the Black PSP model and the new Ceramic white PSP model," and "A variety of different treatments have been created as a campaign to either highlight the whiteness of the new model or contrast the black and the white models. Central to this campaign has been the creation of some stunningly photographed images. Two similar ads can be found on Dutch PSP site, and such a concept is still considered to be offensive by many.
