From what ive heard from 3rd party developers on podcasts, they have 2 choices.
a) Create a HD game and release it on PS3, 360 and PC with minor port cost
b) Create a game just for wii from the ground up
Have you seen the sales from Wii 3rd party exclusives?
Even monster hunter G was 130k for the first week (psp was 700k)
Its very risky to make a high budget game for the wii.
The price is another factor, the platform gets a fix amount of money, lets say $10 for every game. Its the same amount for the wii, 360 and ps3. But HD games are $60 and wii games are around $40-$50, that's less revenue for developers.
