Of course that's not to say porting from PS2 to Cube (now Wii) would be the answer to all of Capcom or Sega's problems - I feel safe saying that Onimusha would not have done too well on GameCube...but porting some select games to GameCube would have made a lot of sense for Capcom and Sega.
If they do port Okami, it might show that Capcom finally caught on.
I agree with everything couchmonkey said. And they won't learn. Even if the wii surpases the 360 in total sales world wide by the end of this year, and by a large margin, Capcom will support it less than the 360, maybe more then the PS3 but i'll save that prediction for later.
The decent success of dead rising and lost planet will most likely solidify capcom's stance on supporting the 360, and probably ditching some of their old franchise in favor of supporting sequels to these projects.
But i digress, I know viewtiful joe will never get another sequel because viewtiful joe 2 bombed HARD, and i'm one of the only people who got it. While the addition of silva sucked, and there were no unlockable characters, and most of the bosses were lame, i gotta say the game was still solid because the game play in that game is so dead on.
Theres so much to be desired and done with viewtiful joe, it's a shame we'll never see another sequel that could move the series to an even better level, not that capcom would do it, but theoretically speaking.
Oh well, at least DMC 3 was damn good.
