I'm gonna blame this primarily on Japanese developers not being onboard the Wii bandwagon from day one like they were with the ps2. Sure we had a few guys announcing projects for the platform, like Marvelous, and even a few bigger titles like Monster Hunter 3, but it wasn't much, and it seems only a part of the niche Japanese development community are really supporting the Wii, what with games like Ar Tonelico III, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Alterier Rorona being announced for ps3. Then there are four large franchises the ps3 never lost - Metal Gear Solid, Yakuza, Final Fantasy, and Gran Turismo - all exclusive to the ps3 in Japan.
Developers are split, and as such gamers are split. The fact that the ps3 is doing so well compared to the Wii, especially right now, is a telling sign of this.
