When have companies chosen to support the most powerful system more than the most profitable system before? PS2 was supported the most and was the weakest compared to Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Xbox. You can go back to any previous generation and see the same pattern. Also, looking at FFCC for the Wii, it looks very good graphics wise. Sure they could spend another 15 million to make it a 1080p game for the PS3 but it wouldnt translate into more sales. And if FFCC makes SE more money than FF13 on the PS3 (if it ever gets released) what system do you think the next installment will be on.

The thing is, the difference between 360/PS3 and the wii are much greater than anything we've seen before.

And, for the the big famous developers, the publishers don't go in and tell them what game to do. 

The developers pitch their project to the publishers, not the other way around. 

And publishers are less likely to dismiss a project from example bioware.  Developers want progress, the wii is not a handheld that can be excused for it's crappy graphics. And do you not think development costs will go down for this gen ever?

This must be the most ridicules claimes ever escpecially after the Project O announcment, were the makers of Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest VII and Harvest Moon is teaming up.

not much info is out yet, but some of the best japanese devs is on board. Not only that: If I remeber right, Dragon Quest Sword is the first spinn off made by, Yuji Horii, the man behind the real series. So at least some japanese devs seams to be onboard.
