Edit: I really think that Square believes there is no market for their games (casuals) and this is why you will probably not see any main series game from Square on the Wii.

So have you never heard of Dragon Quest, or....

DQ is big in Japan, FF Japan and the West. West Wii market is very different to Japanese one. Keeping FF on the HD consoles (or at least PS3) ensures big sales for worldwide. I think western Wii markets have proven they don't care for most core games multiple times over, so is a large risk.

'Core" Japanese Wii games do better in the west than in Japan (No More Heroes, Muramasa, HoTD2&3, etc). And honestly, FF is pretty damn casual/mainstream these days anyway, which has no problem selling on Wii (Guitar Hero, RE4, Sonic, etc).
If Japanese developers want to target ALL markets, Wii really is the best console platform...

Those 3 examples even if you add the sales together would be poor for a FF game.

Fine. Name one 'core' Wii game that sold better in Japan than outside it.
