Money. Not as easy to develop for as say the Wii or as cost effective but usually games on the 360 sell pretty well. Thus it gets a lot of support. A lot less risk than to develop for the PS3.

 

Well it also is much more powerful than the wii...hence it lets the devs do some cool things visually. You don't want to start development for a game like dead rising with an original idea and then realize you can't do half the things becuase the system cant handle it...

I am actually surprised there arent more Wii/360 exclusives. Made for Wii, quickly ported to 360...

 

Well I'm sure power has somewhat to do with it, probably more for American devs and less for the Japanese devs, but putting a game somewhere is money based.  Those games probably never would have been made for Wii considering the limitations for the console so then its a choice of PS3, 360, and PC, or just one of them.  Usually they go with all 3 because they can pick the one that would be cheapest to make it on, aka the 360, and then port them over to the others and have a much better chance at making a large profit.  They don't go to the Wii because they don't directly port over costing them more money.
