The difference between the Wii marketing and the GameCube marketing is ridiculous. Although I guess it helps when you've got a product that people seem to actually want.

Hrmm. Bit of a conundrum.
Do people want the Wii more because of the marketing? As such, did people not want the Gamecube due to the marketing or lack there of? Meh.
Well, this is a good move. A good play? Is there a tennis pun I could have made there? I don't 'do' sport.

I would think Mark Philippoussis would be used to having his arse kicked.

Sounds like some great clean marketing if you ask me. Not even a hint of naked boobies.

Journo: "Well Mark, you've lost Age of Love, you've lost most hope in your Career, and now you've lost a game of Wii Tennis against a 5 Year old Boy with No arms. Your thoughts?"
Mark: "Ahh.....My......Knee. That's it, I've injured my knee during the game."
Journo: "You've been sitting down for the past 45 minutes."

Another smart advertising move for Nintendo, its good to see some variety as I am sick of seeing the same Wii Sports ads on the TV.
They need to start focusing more on other key software titles, I'm surprised that I haven't sene much on the Wii version of Brain Training yet. It makes no sense for them to continually dwell on Wii Sports. Sure, it seels etc but they cold sell much more software if they just marketed their other games a bit more.
