Do you have any idea how much advertising costs?

Games like Modern Warfare 2 and God Of War III have ad. campaigns reaching into the millions of dollars, and even passing the production costs of the games themselves.

Well those games had crazy advertising budgets. MW2 inparticular is rumored to have spent $200 million. Not sure what GOW3 spent. But the original L4D had an advertising budget of $10 million and L4D2 had $20 million.

Anyhow, the only games that need advertising on the Wii are games that appeal to kids (i.e. just dance, rayman, guitar hero, 1st party games, etc.). When it comes to T and M rated titles, advertising doesn't seem to make a significant improvement in sales.

I don't know what you're basing this conclusion on so far, the few games that had advertising were either very niche or had very little tv advertising in obscure hours (or both).
