Game companies did not bet on the Wii. And it takes a long time to develop a modern game. So, it's a lack of foresight, more than anything else.

You probably have to code a lot of the same things twice, but you don't have to fundamentally rethink much of the game's mechanics. The game is pretty much the same to the user. The Wii's controller makes it very good at different types of games. It's kinda sucky for the old FPS or fighting games. Plus for anyone who has both a Wii and an Xbox or PS3, you're going to buy games like Madden on the one that offers it in high-def. So the gaming companies went with what they knew. And they certainly couldn't have guessed that the Wii would have sold more units than the other two combined. I think now that they know that, they'll get a little more creative.
