@Ail: You tell me which core games got properly advertised. If you are talking about Japan, then I don't have a clue, but outside games like NMH got zero advertising. Games like Dead Space, Saints Row 2, Fable II, GTAIV, bah almost every big core game for the HD's has a big ad campaign. The few core games that ever get released on the Wii get no advertising at all and they are almost always new IPs.
And about Tenchu, the game series has been on decline since Tenchu 3, that's the reality. When you compare games released by 3rd parties so far on the HD and Wii in Japan, you see that Wii has got nothing compared to them. Alsmot all the most important game series had seen an HD release while the Wii was able to survive only with 1st party games, since 3rd party devs completely ignored the Wii.
I'm saying that next year things will change at least in Japan.
