From gaf it is babelfished though:
Capcom amongst these over publishers have said their main focus will be shifted to Wii for console games due to sales.

Quote
http://Game software major company such as バンダイナムコゲームス and Sega, relative importance of software development the SONY computer entertainment (for SCE) from is moving to Nintendo Co.. As for バンダイナムコ and Sega for Nintendo Co. which is sold in 2007 the quantity of software planning redoubling at preceding year ratio. As for SCE squeezing to the large-sized work which can anticipate hit, it advances development. As for number of shipments 3 of major companies which add カプコン for Nintendo Co. for SCE it is the prospect that it is reversed. The Nintendo Co. portable type game machine "ニンテンドー DS" and deferred type "Wii (ウィー)" vis-a-vis favorable demand, high functional machine "place t Shaun 3 of SCE (PS3)" it has been restrained. Software each company seeing the spread of the Nintendo Co. game machine, throwing the new work rapidly. On the one hand, high efficiency for PS3 of the merchandise as for the software is a tendency where production expense expands, cannot avoid becoming prudent.

If that was the case, I almost might as well quit gaming (although I do like Sony Computer Entertainment and MS Game Studios stuff).  I like those publishers a lot, but I only like the direction of the PSP, PS3, and 360 (which is why I support those three the most).  If I see those devs make non-games for DS/Wii, I'm going to be very angry.  I've had a DS for a long time and just can't get into it (I really don't like the type of games it has at all and its ruined many series I love), where I've bought many of its games, but I find myself trading in everyone due to quickly becoming bored with them (only games I kept really were Sonic, Mega Man, and Mario Kart).  I absolutely don't like the Wii because I want impressive graphics (I have a really nice HDTV and non-next gen consoles look terrible on it), actual games, want a HDD (no 512MB internal memory and not being able to play VC games off of an SD Card), and I hate freaking standing up to play video games.  I want to lay down in bed while holding my controller. 

I use to like Nintendo a lot with the SNES and I mostly liked the GBA (Had the type of games I want with no touch screen, waggle controls, etc.  Only thing that bothered me about the GBA was the sound quality and screen). 

Namco Bandai had some PSP games that actually performed well.  Tekken DR did sell 1 million worldwide, Ace Combat X sold decently (over 300k worldwide), and Ridge Racer (first one) on PSP outsold both RR7 and RR6 possibly combined (before the mega price drops).  Gundam Battle Tactics did well in Japan.  From what I remember, Tales of the Tempest bombed really bad on DS, and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology on PSP outsold it.  Tales of Eternia and Tales of Destiny 2 port seems to have performed pretty good too on PSP, while Tales of Phantasia Full Voice seems to have done okay (but not all that well, because who is going to buy the 4th version of the game anyway).  I really don't see Namco Bandai completely dropping them on PSP, but I could see them throwing tons of anime licenses on DS.

I don't see what Sega support they're talking about, since Sega has definitely put out more DS games than PSP games over the years (most Sega's PSP games are for western markets, or all ports in Japan).

As for Capcom, I noticed a drop in support, but I can't understand why they wouldn't support PSP.  Monster Hunter Freedom is a huge success and I've never seen Capcom have any other handheld game sell that well.  It's just a matter of making the right game (which they did) on PSP.  I really think if they made DMC on PSP, it would do well.  I know the Mega Man remakes didn't do too well, but the two problems I see were they were released too early (when PSP was $250, so most kids didn't have one), and the game really isn't suited for the PSP market (I enjoyed it, but cannot deny it isn't suited for the PSP crowd).

SEGA and Namco are meaningless.

As long as Capcom keeps putting shit out on 360 (and now PC) then things are fine. Nothing to see here folks.

You can play Orta on 360. Who needs a Wii downgrade?

I agree but like, I mean, if they start the eventual shift to Wii, I wouldn't really mind a new Panzer Dragoon if it plays well. Better than..um...Wii Play or Wii Sports type of crap.

Some of you guys are totally ridiculous. You whine about the Wii's lack of good games, but once it sounds like some good devs will start focusing on making more games for it, you whine about that too. How can the Wii ever get a good catalogue without good devs making games for it?

i don't wanna play more games with last-gen graphics and a cumbersome control system which lends itself poorly to the genres i prefer. i already have a ps2 and a massive backlog for it.

The hardcore will always have a home, and it looks like this generation it'll be on Microsoft's console.  Nintendo has tapped into a broad mainstream market and lured some old school folks with 'em, but to think it means the end of videogames as we know it is silly.  It's just that our demographic will be trivialized by most, but there are still enough to support a console and give if a healthy life cycle.

Scamco and SEGA haven't been good devs in like, ever. (Well ok SEGA was good back when I was in middle school)

Capcom still <3s the 360 so its all good.

I'd have to agree.  As much as I say bad things about the Wii, there are some games I think that will really work on it well; however, I doubt half of them will come. :(

If they're shifting their focus to the Wii, then why the hell is barely anything coming out on the system from these companies?  Bullshit.

Err....are you slow?  They can't say "oh we're switching focus" and then suddenly fucking say "HERE ARE ALL OUR GAMES, THEY RELEASE IN A WEEK."  It takes time to make games, asshat.

They annouced they are going to BEGIN shifting support now. Most third parties gambled on ps3/360 which has backfired horribly when both are under-perfoming(with PS3 being basically a complete disaster) on a worldwide basis.

Wii was selling like hotcakes six months ago.  Where were the announcements then?  Doesn't seem like it's happening when all these companies are just now revealing and announcing titles for the PS3 and Xbox 360.  It doesn't take time to announce new titles, artard.

I think most publishers didn't want to bother spending millions of dollars based on launch numbers.

They took a wait and see approach. Hoping/expecting 360 or PS3 to take off, which never happened.
