Nintendo has a stronger first-party lineup than Sony or Microsoft, so it tends not to have to advertize them.
I have often said on here that one reason Carnival Games sold was that Take Two did a lot of advertising for it. Meanwhile, other third parties don't do nearly as much in that arena. I can only remember Madden 08 and RR2 doing ads recently (again, I don't watch a lot of TV) -- not including multiplatform efforts.
And if Nintendo was not nice to third parties, its Wii website would not be dominated by them right now. While the main pix is SSBB, five of the six games on the page are third party, as are all three of the subfeatures at the bottom of the page.
