Capcom is stupid. Why not make wii versions of Devil May Cry, Okami, and other franchises that no longer make money?

Now that Wii is incredible popular it will get more 3rd party support and developers will put their 1st string teams with good budgets. BUT...planning and early development for a game usually takes place a year or even 2 years before they ever announce the games to the public. Because of this we may not actually see the fruits of Wii's success until the end of 2008.

If this happens, it will crush the "Wii is a fad" and "will not be successful past 2008" theories that are out there.

Indeed it will. Most people that comment like that are incredibly uneducated to how this industry truly operates.

This is also why current games for the system are somewhat bland. Everything that has been released thus far was really in planing and development prior to the systems launch. Back when it was written off as 3rd place before the next gen even began. Those few developers and publishers that did want to support Wii right away put their 3rd string development teams and low budgets on it. Or worse, they'd outsource all development to an anonymous developer like Tose.
