I'm expecting in the future a Taiko no Tatsujin PS3 with downloadable songs!

Doubtful.  The PSP games didn't sell well (neither broke 100k iirc) and the last peripheral based PS3 game from Namco (Time Crisis 4) bombed hard.  Taiko's new home is DS/Wii, I don't see that changing.  They'll probably do a Wii game with DLC in the future though.

One Namco series I do see migrating to PS3 in the future is The Idolm@ster.  Seems like a perfect fit really, would probably do 200k+.

Especially with the DLC selling so well on the 360, I'm sure they could also have some success on the PS3.

Yeah, it's doing really well on the PSP im@s too.  I could see the franchise on Wii too, but PS3 seems like a better fit since it's more "Otaku" and less "casual".  Similar to Tales, and rather unlike Taiko.  

I think we'll also see Tekken 6 migrate to Wii next year, though moreso for western markets.  Probably based on the PSP rev, but with online play/DLC added back in.  And maybe even with a Nintendo character cameo (a la SC2).

I'd like to see Point Blank on Wii.  I dunno if it'll happen though, Namco's dropped Gun.com3 support basically but there's may be some pride issues in the way of them shifting to lightgunners for Wii.  It'd be like admitting failure.
