Namco: Wii can't handle Tekken 6, PSP can.

Better idea -- why don't they get Nintendo to let them use Link/Ganon again and make a new Soul Calibur game for the Wii using the SC2 engine?

There are PSP games that would sell big on the Wii though. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep and Final Fantasy Dissidia for example should both be on the Wii IMO ... those publishers are just throwing away money. The Wii sells much more software in the West than the PSP does.

The Wii does a great job at moving Nintendo games, party games, and family games. I think the PSP still has the edge when it comes to moving core software.

While that might technically be true, although the PSP has a pretty poor attach ratio--IIRC it's around 2--the problem is the lack of support.  Third parties threw almost all of their core/hardcore games at the HD consoles, so the core gamers bought those; while putting spin-offs and "casual" games on the Wii, which the core audience ignored.  Nintendo put their best games on the Wii--obviously they won't support the competition--so Nintendo's core fans bought the Wii, which is why Nintendo continues to do well with their own hardware.

If third parties were to put more core games on the Wii, they could lure core gamers to the machine; but after putting so many core games on other platforms, they'd rather just keep supporting those.  Sucks, doesn't it?
