Western developers will be harder to win over due to the console sales breakdown in the West compared to Japan.  In Japan, due to the 360's almost irrelevancy saleswise, the Wii has a large marketshare (58.8% atm).  This should in itself attract 3rd party support for it's successor.  Hell, even the Wii had decent Japanese 3rd party support at times (ToG, SW3, MH3, RF:F and hopefully soon DQX).

However, for the West as the home consoles sales are a 3 horse race, the PS3 and 360 (which developers often see as one mega-platform) has the numerical advantage.  This results in less major 3rd party support and helps account for why we haven't seen a Western eqivilent of Monster Hunter 3 or Tales of Graces on Wii.
