porting to the wii?? very bad idea. most 3rd party games sell like shit on the Wii putting FFXIII there would be suicide and they know it

Most 3rd party games aren't Final Fantasy XIII.  If Monster Hunter, a DQ spinoff and Resident Evil shooters can sell better on Wii than they did on PS2...

 

Though your statement does bring up another side, what exactly would SE have to lose if they chose to port/adapt FFXIII to Wii?

what do S-E have to loose porting DQX to PS3?

Time

Time better spent making FF15 & on the toher hand DQ11

Well, they'd undoubtedly lose Nintendo's western promotional commitments if DQX was promised a year later PS3 port.  Which after seeing what Nintendo's done for Layton and will likely do for Monster Hunter, would probably cost them more in Western sales than they'd gain from Japan.

FFXIII on the other hand already went multiplatform to help break even and already runs on Wii compatible middleware...
