Why has Japanese 3rd party support almost completely ceased for the Wii?

becasuse almost every advantge the wii offers to publishers is done better by the DS

Why then do PSP, PS3 and 360 still get more games than the Wii?

well PSP for the same reasons as DS, larger userbase and smaller dev costs.

 

PS3 and 360 offer a greater market in the west for japaneese franchises

PSP has larger costs than the DS, why aren't all games made for the DS then? PSP still gets a ton of big games and its costs are higher. Plus DS has a userbase that's 2 times as big as that of the DS.

Wii has a bigger userbase than the HD's combined, has lower costs and offers a new gameplay mechanic, yet the big franchises are heading towards the handhelds or the HDs. It wouldn't surprise me to see devs making motion games when Arc and Natal finally come out exclusively for the HD consoles, and using their big franchises for it. Wii is cursed, really I don't think it will be able to maintain its sales come next year only with 1st party SW. Nintendo might be planning to launch a new home console by next year because clearly things will never be good enough for 3rd parties to even try and momentum will definitely die soon if this doesn't change.
