This PS3 ad seen in Russia proves Sony’s drive to improve world wide sales. This thing is huge. The billboard displays a straight message. It reads, translated from Russian “Playstation 3: The gaming spaces of Russia”. For such a vast country, we guess you need a vast ad campaign. And Sony seems to be pulling out all the stops.
