Wii games cost 10-20 dolalrs less than HD games out of the gate. Considering the licensing fees and shipping/packaging costs are the same no matter which platform you publish for one can asume that HD consoles are getting the developer/publisher atleast 10 dollars more for each copy sold.

If a game sells 500K on 360 and 500K on the Wii, the 360 version should logically net 5 million dollars more.

I am not in the industry so I can't really argue this point any better but this can be one of the reasons publishers arent doing more Wii developed games.

According to indsutry analysts, they project a average Wii game makes a profit at 250k but an average HD needs to sell 1m to start  clearing a profit.   Therefore 500k on Wii is a huge profit generator but 500k on 360 is a huge loss.

 

Can you post me a link for this. I heard different numbers (200K vs 500K) and they are like that only because they used a Wii game that costs5 million while 360 one cost 25...
