first of all Disgaea 3 is 2d srpg that was probably a ported ps2 game. SMT games are much more "complicated" - i mean thea are all in 3d and very polished compared to Disgaea series(at least console games, besides they already have most models, scripts, engines and textures for Disgaea since those games don't change in that department much unlike SMT games) and Atlus would probably want to make a huge jump from last gen graphics if they would consider putting SMT game on ps360 and this costs a LOT(after all development costs are 4-5 times higher compared to wii for small company like atlus that IS a huge deal) while at the same time they can make with ps2-game budget a full fledget wii title.

 

You are making assumption about what Atlus would "want" to do.  You have no idea what kind of graphics they want for their next Persona title.  So tell me, if they kept graphics largely the same as they are now (which I can tell you as a Persona fan I would be perfectly fine with) then where is all this money going to?

 

If they kept the graphics mainly the same, they can always do a PS2 and Wii game and sell more than on the HD consoles.

 

Some developers grow a fanbase and stick with it.  Now they may move or they may not, but it is by no means a done deal as some seem to believe. 

Not every game is going to come to the Wii, as much as that may be the most logical outcome in your mind it just isn't going to happen.
