They explore the awareness stage driven by subway ads and viral word-of-mouth, the interest stage fueled by UMD movie releases, the decision stage influenced by price anchoring against the iPod, and the action stage powered by launch-day scarcity. The hosts discuss why the PSP's funnel succeeded where others failed, and what modern marketers can learn from its multi-format strategy.
