I would imagine it's purely technological - I'm no techspert but I'm guessing the cost of porting / developing Split Second on the PSP was alot lower then if they were going to make a Wii version that was actually good. Maybe they didn't have the resources to make a Wii version of the game which wouldn't end up like the Hot Pursuit port did.

 I'd imagine there is some logic in terms of audience too - the Need for Speeds and racing games in a similiar style have never set the Wii sales charts on fire, whereas the PSP has 3 NFS million sellers as well as Gran Turismo, Midnight Club, Burnout.

It has propably something to do with the publisher. Maybe they decided to make a PSP-version of the game. :O

 I'm playing Devils advocat here, but I could easily see - had Epic Mickey Bombed - some people spinning the 'it wasn't good enough to succeed on Wii' type argument. But now it's a AAA quality game or something.

 I haven't played it (Doubt I'll ever bother) but what I've heard / read was never overly positive, albeit some of the gaming press wrote it off without ever really giving it a chance in terms of reviews.

100% true.

He said that because the Wii is far stronger than the PSP. If an HD game can get a clean port to the most pirated, least cared about system, than why not the system the largest install base? This is the BS that most Nintendo fans talk about. Dante's Inferno, Split/Second, Army of Two: The 40th Day, and many others all made it to the PSP, and were ported from the HD consoles. When asked about why a certain game didn't make it to the Wii, a dev's first excuse is "It can't handle the graphics". If the PSP can handle the graphics tan the Wii definetly could. That is why he mentioned Split/Second

What if the most pirated/least cared(wtf?) system still manages to sell better when it comes to racers?

Now as you can see, there are 2 million selling racers on Wii while there is 9 million selling racers on PSP. Granted, there is the one 26m selling racer on Wii but as the developers can't put Mario on the game, PSP looks to have a better chance of moving software.

So how many copies would "Mario's Epic Wii Dance Party" sell? :P

 Looking at the VGC figures I don't think it's hard to see the PSP had a better track record at selling Split Second type racers though. Clearly it has an audience, even if software sales have dried up it's still shown on numerous occations these realstic (In the loosest sense of the word) type racers can sell, whereas the Wii has a list of half a million sellers and a few slightltly above that which were released close to the consoles launch. 

 Neither really boasted amazing selling opportunities - but a handheld game is still the cheaper option which requires less resources and people working on it. I can't really get into a debate on the technology behind porting a video game, but from what I've gathered these PSP games which are on 360/PS3 (Dante's Inferno, Split Second, Army of Two) arn't literal ports of the PS3/360 but indepentely developed games that share alot of resources and that doing a similiar thing on the Wii (At an acceptable quality) would simply cost more money.

 Fair enough if just Disney did it (PSP port) and it was a one off occation but we've seen it happen on numerous occations now from EA, Namco, Konami etc, so I'm assuming there's got to be some sort of technological logic in it.

@iamawesome & rolstoppable  those PSP ports suck. and for my money I bet if it went to Wii it would have sucked too. Is that what you guys want?? A crappy version of an HD game just to say you have it on your system of choice?? Considering the sales of multiplat games on Wii in this regard I know thats not what most people want. So why go through the trouble of making it, if its going to flop anyway?? As for PSP, i love that little thing but IMHO those games shouldnt even exist in the first place, Split/Second & SC: BD are pointless, you release a bad port of a game a year later and charge full price??? When the original and superior version is probably available for cheaper?? I really dont see who publishers will think will buy these versions of the games, the ones that are too damn cheap the get the actual console it was made for?? I think that audience is small

@degausser  people like you give me hope. Your actually trying to look at the big picture instead of just spewing "3rd parties hate Wii, there evil!" nonsense that ive been reading about for the past 2 years
