The real issue is that Capcom should stop thinking that we don't want this game on the Wii. There was no game on the Wii like RE5 that flopped. The game actually like RE5 sold well.
So not following it through with the next main RE game shows they are treating Wii owners like the wrong people. Yes, I am comparing this partly to racism. It's not as morally reprehensible, but the bullshit logic is similar.
The systems specs are just one of the excuses, when objectively, HD development takes even more time an money. So complaining that making a game for the system takes less of those is either the stance of an idiot, or the stance of someone trying to come up with an excuse not to do something they are prejudiced against.
EDIT: And for those that say you have to work harder to make games look good on the Wii, that is still not going to cost as much time and money. In fact, it's basically declaring the HD systems let you be creatively lazy. And the increasing sameness of the look of many HD games holds that up.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
