It doesnt matter if they were established on WIi. That makes no difference as every new gen is kind of a clean slate. By that logic FF7 should have NEVER been the best selling FF ever. Hell all of those 3rd party games that were established on Ninty systems should have flopped. What about all those games that were not established on the first xbox but STILL managed to sell well on 360, FF, Tekken, just to name two. As for natural flow. Its not that simple as i already explained those games shifting to different audiences within PS Xbox community. and then you would have to explain why games established on Wii are doing not great on WII U. Looking at the WIi series here.

Honestly they might just do the last part and just skip it. Resources dont grow on trees and it is a hard sell to try to "perservere" especially when they have 3 not 1 or 2 3 viable systems to put their games on. Its messed up but hey. There is more to it than just well they didnt try. Lets not ignore demographs.

FF7 was an exclusive that shifted so the crowd followed.  Most old Nintendo fans and to some degree ps2 games had split across 360 and ps3 due to huge price of the ps3 so the audience was alreay there.  

I already said the demographic is gone. The only thing left to do on Nintendo systems is to build a new demographic from the kids growing up into adults. If that doesn't happen then they will simple move on. That is the 3rd parties choice to make. Do they build a future demographic or do they allocate their resources to 2 platforms knowing people will shift anyway to play those games.
