This isn't a source but I swear I remember a thread on this. I'll check and edit after.

Edit: here we go http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/01/13/ps4-vs-xbox-one-ads-2015-report/

Nintendo spent 30% more than Sony in advertising in 2015. Haven't found 2016.

I had to really dig for 2016, which proved the claim false (Kerotan was probably remembering 2015). Xbox spent WAY more than anyone else on ads last year. (Not surprising, I barely watch any TV and remember seeing the "S is the only console with HDR and UHD Blu Ray" many times.

200 million in the US for one month?

Definitely needs a lot of advertising to show off the new console so at least people are aware of it

They were on adult swim? That definitely would have gotten my attention a decade ago when I was younger lol, definitely a good place to advertise.

And some people say they don't advertise enough.

Nintendo wastes a lot of money advertising on kids networks. At least with Switch there's some balance and we're getting ads during things like NCAA Basketball.
