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.

 

Sad but true. Of course, that doesnt mean the Wii wont get quality games as well...
Top of the line big 3rd parties have already made up their minds on the consoles. They have invested millions on research. They will stick to their decisions, eventhough they may be, in a sense, incorrect. This is, of course, considering the early estimations of the Wii's downfall. Reason why the, in a sense, BEST games are already headed for the 360/PS3

These companies are now scrambling to work on ANYTHING for the Wii. As the years pass, however, there will be a greater focus for the Wii, but never as large as the PS3/360.

All of this, of course, referes to the biggest development companies; it is also targeted mostly to the more Western companies. SquareEnix already moved their DQ franchise to Nintendo hardware, and are putting more of their FF spinoffs on Nintendo.
