Why arent third parties developing for Wii first and then porting to PS360?

I can only assume 2 reasons.

Third parties will not sell on Wii or The Wii is not capable of running lots of these games.

After all when PS2 was the market leader Sony called the shots so why Not Nintendo now.

I myself think it is a mixture of both.

Does anyone agree.

Lead develop on Wii and port to HD?

Think again...

Well why not I mean if it has the equivilant install base and it is cheaper to develop it is win win for publishers surely.

Why do you have a 360, bud? graphics are one reason, no? HD gamers will get turned off by old graphics and not buy those games.

I think you'll see many more Wii exclusives than Wii->360/PS3 ports, for the reason Xen mentioned.

For example, Monster Hunter 3 got cancelled for the PS3 and made a Wii exclusive instead. This is much more likely to happen than a port from the Wii.

Actually I do love the graphics but gameplay is the most important thing to me.

If a game looks good and plays bad I stop playing.

I still have my PS2 wired up and play the occasional game on it.

If Wii had HD graphics there wouldn't be ports.

Same here, man. But I'd assume we're in the minority.

Plus, what works on Wii won't work on HD consoles. Reason? different control schemes. Games will have to redisgned for the console.

Nintendo should of at least put 720p graphics.

@xen
Yes I know what you are saying but if it is less costly to develop for wii is the main reason then that third parties are not interested in wii and still see the other two as the money makers.

If my assumption is correct this would bode badly for wii long term imo.
