Excellent, the next great beat'em up franchise after Virtua Fighter that is going to hit platforms with userbases that can't or don't want to support such a game enough to turn back a healthy profit for the publisher. Pure assumption, though is it that far off from reality?

If DOA 4 sold that well on 360 you don't think Soul Calibur can? please...

Also, is every game gonna have to be held back graphically so that it gets released on the weaker Wii?

So far my theory stands that no top of the line big 3rd party games are coming for Wii and are staying on 360/PS3 being released for both.

 

DoA 4 was a launch game, was one of the few games at launch that weren't PS2 ports and was published by Microsoft.

As for your theory: Yes, at the moment it really looks that way. The thing that could happen is that those "big" 3rd party games won't be big anymore this generation, saleswise. What would happen if the spinoffs for Wii would outsell the main series entries on PS3/360?

 Then they stick with making cheaper, lesser versions of their series for the Wii because they are already selling and keep pushing the tech on 360 and PS3 using the money from the Wii versions to finance their bigger projects.
