Didn't see all the R&D budgets cited mentioned...

• PS2/GC/Xbox $3-5 million
• Wii $5-7 million
• 360/PS3 $15-30 million (plus advertising/promotional budgets can match this)

...generational console marketshare revenue...

• Wii: 47%
• 360: 35%
• PS3: 18%

Don't Wii games generally require a similar amount of advertising to perform well?

While Wii games may require that, until now (MH Tri) no Wii 3rd party game has actually gotten that or anything close to 3rd party HD advertising campaigns (ok, except Just Dance maybe). At best they get something minor that people get all excited about because they actually saw a commercial OMG, but usually there is practically no advertising campaign beyond maybe a few gaming sites.
