Doesnt change the fact that Wii owners still bought the Carnival games in droves, and I have never seen a commercial for that game in the US. Never seen one for Just Dance 1 or Zumba fitness and they all seem to do perfectly well. I know im not blaming gamers, Wii's audience is just more inclined to pick up the games I mentioned than the "core" ones. Ninty games not withstanding. 

Considering the games you like to play, you probably also only watch certain TV channels or series. Commercials are usually positioned during the TV program that is (assumed to be) watched by most people of the potential market. Commercials for games like Just Dance certainly do exist.

The audience of every video game system is more inclined to buy the games that are advertised on TV. Just take a look at the 360 and PS3 bestsellers. It's exactly the same as on the Wii. The only difference is that the games that are heavily advertised are different. If core games would have been advertised more on the Wii, they would have sold significantly better. But as it is, not even Call of Duty gets commercials on the Wii.

THe COD thing again, PS3 has not COD advertisment, or PC version, so whats their excuse?  Ads are important but i think people put to much into them. People have to be interested. Even if those core Wii games were advertised a bit more, would the Carnival Game, Just Dance, WiiFIt crowd care?? I doubt it. Hell Conduit got a lot of ad time but that game still flopped hard and people know that their are CODs for Wii, they just dont care.
