There is something to be said for subtlety. Particularly when you feel there's enough hype behind something that a simple reminder will reignite the frenzy. I think the commercial was good in that respect. I think a lot of people were expecting the first commercial to show a bunch of in-game video and such - hence the criticism.

What I would personally expect is a media blitz during the two weeks leading up to the release of the system. This first commercial will have gotten people talking about it and Sony probably wants to let that sit for a few weeks to make the blow-out more pronounced.
