Orange Box for the Wii?

I do know that, but until now companies haven't made huge dollars by porting 360/PS3 games to the Wii, have they (yes RE4 was successful but it was a Gamecube game and a budget title).

Have there been ANY ports like that? There have been multiplatform games, but those tended to be lackluster overall (splinter cell conviction). We haven't seen someone make a serious effort to port a major 360/PS3 title to the Wii, and until someone does, we don't really know whether or not the money is worth it.

If companies thought that it was a) relatively easy and b) would bring them dollars we would see dozens of ported 360/PS3 games at least announced for the Wii. Until now no beep. Yes it has been only a year but in this time a good number of PS3 and 360 exclusives has gone multiplatform. But only between the two.

Bottomline: I think most game developers seem to think their chances are higher to make money from the Wii by developing specific Wii titles. If they are correct is another matter but I do not think that they are idiots.

(Perhaps I am wrong and a dozen Wii ports of PS3/360 games are announced in the next months but I doubt it)

That does apply to those insisting ports will make money, but it does not excuse those acting at though it's already been proven a port isn't worth it. It has not been proven, so claiming it's not worth it is just a lie at this moment.
