Word is that Nintendo was giving incentives for any kind of support, resulting in late ports such as Mass Effect 3, Arkham City, and Deus Ex, so this is probably just the Japanese equivalent of that. I really doubt there's any consideration of making Yakuza jump platforms or go multiplatform or anything. The series isn't that big, so unlike DQ and MH, I don't think it would weather the transition to a new platform very well.
