When the Wii userbase equals that of the DS and the profits made from the Wii validate the vastly higher development cost.

So...maybe a couple years or so.

 

The development costs for the Wii aren't that much higher than development costs for (high end?) GC games...

Well I'm not an expert on the matter, but I imagine that Wii development costs (especially for high end games) would be higher than DS development costs, at least by a couple million. Then again, I reiterate that I'm not an expert on it.

 

 

Well I can see that costing more to develop, combined with the fact that games sell so well on the other home systems, means the Wii is unlikely to have dominant support like the DS. But it's still likely to grow a lot, especially if upcoming hardcore games like Mad World and The Conduit sell well enough.
