In the case of third-party games, I'd like to point out games like Splinter Cell: Double Agent. This is a really good game, and plays decently on the Wii; however, up until I saw it at costco today, I didn't even know it was made for a Wii.
I've seen very few third-party Wii games advertised, which is probably related to the limited success of most third-party games. In turn, fewer companies want to MAKE these games because they're under-advertised compared to first party, which leads to less third party games for the Wii, which means the ones we do get are of lesser quality, which means they aren't advertised....the endless cycle continues.

Whoah whoah whaoh, nintendo doesn't even NEED to advertise their games. They put up Dojo for brawl, but it was the only mention of it I ever saw until release. The reason first party games from nintendo overshadow the third party without being advertised is that a game made by Nintendo doesn't need to be advertised. The games are so incredibly good that people say "Yaaay! Another Metroid game!". If I walked into a store today with 50 dollars meant for the medecine that would save the life of my invalid grandmother, they had better hope that stores haven't already gotten copies of the new "LOZ: Link needs cash".
Over the course of several years, nintendo has taken their standard formula and adapted it into this superior and more effective system for producing games.
Step 1: Nintendo
Step 2: Hate our own fans. A lot.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: PROFIT!
