"Cost of changing dev. studios to develop HD games was way too much to go back on (Capcom have said this)"
I believe this is called the sunk cost fallacy (correct me if that's not the right term). It's an actual phenomenon where it would be more reasonable to stop doing something you spent money on, but since you spent the money, you can't stop spending it and you hope you get your money back.
Besides, it's not as though changing the studios to make games for the Wii AS WELL would be a hell of a lot more.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
