I really like thinking about the whole marketing side on a game design myself. It's a mess and it's a whole lot more to consider, but trying to figure out a game pitch that'd be innovative, fun to make, fun to play *and* sellable is an awesome challenge. Sadly, it's far more fun than actually sitting down to make any of them...

What I love is how this guy's making games that don't need to start out as a sales pitch - he's doing them alone so doesn't have to convince anyone else to invest their time and money - but still seems to have nailed it with his first title. I guess that's the benefit of experience. I'm actually gonna have to pick up Democracy now!
