Why is it so impossible to believe that it's the Wii projects that are costing the 3rd parties... you know, like they are stating directly?  Look at the sales of the HUGE numbers of Wii titles that some of the publishers quoted in this thread have put out.  Those games cost $5-7 million on average EACH to make, according to those same publishers previous statements, and our "guess" than HD games cost $20M on average.  If you look at their sales numbers, it doesn't seem like there's any way they could have recovered those funds, especially given that revenue per unit on Wii games is less than that of HD games.

If your reasoning holds out

Here's to a recovery by the major third parties in the new year

They would have to cancel quite a few projects to "make it happen" this very moment, and that would cost them.  It'll be a good 18-24 months before they can recover from Wii shovelware dumbness, unless they realized their mistake long ago, and only just recently decided to confess it.
