That's pretty much it.
RE:UC is the only product Capcom has released that represents a substantial investment in the Wii. Monster Hunter 3 will be the next one. The fact that the rest of thier projects are cheap, plus a poor choice of wording by one of their execs, has led some people to interpret that this is all an elaborate examination of the Wii market.
Or they could have simply seen a chance to pay a pittance to some porting teams and see some decent returns. Or in the case of RE4, massive returns. Okami's port probably cost $1 million or less and will probably turn a profit at 100,000 units. You don't need some kind of ulterior 'test' motive to want to publish a title that will get you a quick buck and a stronger presence on this gen's leading platform.
