Unfortunately, many game developers are hardcore gamers and therefore have the mentality of hardcore gamers. They find making "Wii games" as degrading and unrewarding. They are more interested in cool technology than selling to a mass market.
Also, I call bullsh*t where they say their Okami port was a "passion project". Imagine you are a developer in the industry. Would making a port of an niche PS2 game be a "passion project" for you? Capcom went to Ready at Dawn and told them to make the port. Ready at Dawn obliged so they could get back to making God of War games.
