1) They must or they wouldn't be able to make these 360 exclusive multi-million dollar games with huge production staffs that then sell for under a million units.
2) That is hard to say. On one hand it would be considered cheaper to make a game on the DS. But on the other hand, Square seems to be making some of the most costly DS games with CG, 3D graphics, voice castings and the lot. And of those games, the ones that seem to cost the most to make (Like Final Fantasy IV DS), its hard to say if they've pushed the amount of units they've set out to do (or to make the investment worthwile). While other games are lacking advertising and have localization issues in America and therefore the high sales they're seeing in Japan are not equaled in the International market.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
