Maybe becasue their games are selling like crap on the wii. Reality check wii fan boy, your console uses 10 year old technology. Everything good about a game has to be sacrified to make it work on that weak console. Ps - wiis hardware is so great it cant even run next gen game engines lol.

Ok, you are totally contradicting yourself...
In the earlier Sales numers you quoted for the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360, the PS3 and Wii were basically the same. They both had very similar sales, take or give a few thousand. Therefore, you are basically saying these games are selling crap on the PS3 as well.
Now, about development costs. Ok, all these games were ported from the 360 to the PS3 to try and get them out for the PS3 launch etc, but then again all these games were ported to the Wii as well. Im pretty sure that it costs a hell of a lot more to port a game to the PS3 then it does to port it to the wii, so your argument is flawed. Nevertheless, if my guesses are wrong then it doesnt matter; the only reasons why those games were ported was to make them ready for launch, and more than likely from now on EA and Activision will make versions for each console, making sure that they highlight each consoles strengths. When this happens, Wii will have significantly lower development costs, because the PS3 costs loads to make games for (if i remember correctly, a game has to sell at least 500,000 copies to actually make a profit, a feat that many many games have not reached yet)>
Also, what do you think defines "next-gen"? Personally, i believe next-gen is something innovative and different.
