I agree with you 100%. The problem is that most Wii/DS/PSP games cost very little to develop. The HD twins probably cost way more, but even then except a few projects I doubt that many games pass the 10 million budget line today...
Yes, last gen a game was overall successful, and except if it had a multi-million advertisement campaign, selling 300-500k meant that it was pretty much a solid success...
