steven787 makes some good points. While I do think Nintendo could put more into marketing its games (especially Metroid Prime 3), it's possible that the budget is being saved for marketing the disruptive games that really push the system.
Let's be honest here: Wii is selling to new gamers. If the 12 million players were all hardcore, Prime 3 would have sold a lot more. If it's the new gamers that are keeping hardware sales up there week after week after week, then it's the new games that require marketing.
BWii and MP3 are out there for those hardcore gamers that bought the system, but we know about the games anyway.
