Those people who only own PS2 in the previous generation will move to the Wii for this generation. From a console comparison, Wii is going the route of the PS2 with its rapidly growing userbase. From overall comparison, Wii is closely trailing the DS. At this point as well, EA is already giving the Wii many games, exclusive and multiplatform. From historical facts, EA has always gone with the console system with the most userbase. So far, EA still develops multi-platform games for 360 and PS3, but keeps most of its exclusives on the Wii. I think EA feels that Wii is more deserving of new IPs since they feel 360 audience aren't receptive to non-action games (Viva Pinata debacle comes to mind). From historical perspective, Square has always gone with the system that has the most userbase as well - remember the announcement of FFVII going to PS1 instead of N64? This means that there is a high probability Square might decide to create FFXIII on the Wii or the 360. Creating it on the 360 might hurt the brand name in Japan although they will still get profits. Creating it for Wii will require downscaling the graphics although it will ensure Square has a PS2 of this generation in the form of Wii and profits as well. There is very little chance they will continue to develop for the PS3 since any investment in the PS3 seems too much of a risk for such a small profit.
