@kungkras  you have some good points, you and Hazard BUT what about now. Conduit didnt light sales on fire and dont say it was no ads cause god almigh there were some ads. Red Steel 2 is great. what happened there. Im not saying there is no audience for FPSs on Wii its just not as big as some think nowhere near that of 360/PC hell Halo is looking to sell 2 mil in one week!!! Even though Wii has double the install base an FPS wont reach that # in...hell maybe never. Hopefully 007 does close to a mil


Just because you saw some ads doesn't meant the amount was significant. Even 6th gen, even minor NES games, had more marketing.

Nintendo has always sucked at marketing their games, and unlike Sony and Microsoft, they almost never offer support for third party games.  Both Microsoft and Sony have included third party games in their advertisements over the years.  Now, maybe the 3rd party companies requested this, and maybe Sony offered.  Whatever the case is, third party games got help from the console makers from Sony and Microsoft, whereas they didn't from Nintendo.
