But if Sony and MS always wants to help out in advertising then Nintendo will have to do the same as well. Unfortunately Nintendo is a smaller company than Sony and much smaller than MS. 

And that logo does make a difference which shows how much Nintendo needs to enter the marketing war with MS and Sony for big multiplatform 3rd party games at least.

Nintendo doesn't have to pay for other companies to put a damn logo of a version of their game. companies have to make games to make money, not the other way around.

The thing is, yes normally the publsiher should pay for the advertisement of their product but Sony and Microsoft do it so that it is pretty simple, companies like Ubisoft or Acivision will obviously prefer to work with Sony and Microsoft because of that. It's not Nintendo's fault that Sony and Microsoft started with it but it's their fault when they act as if that doesn't give these two companies an advantage and if they don't have to counter this.

If your competition does something which helps them and hurts you and you don't do anything against it then it's your problem.

I don't like that Sony and Microsoft do that but if I would be in their position and not the consumer I would do it as well. 

€dit: and not to forget that Sony and Microsoft get royalties so that it is legitimate if you pay for advertisement of a product of which you get something around 7 bucks per sale from.
