You need the chill pill more than I do if you think that anyone who disagrees with you (or can spent a minute to write more than one paragraph) is upset over imaginary things like the Wii's "lack of success" (hilarious, thanks).
Also, I only asked you why it's upsetting it's on the Wii (and you answered with a clear bias to the Wii's state -- even if you own one -- and the God-like ability to impose your opinion as fact since you KNOW it can sell better elsewhere) without the exclusivity factor, as it's possible it will appear on PSN and XBLA also down the line, just like their other mobile-phone-game-port, Crystal Defenders, which will have a multi platform release (with differences across versions, but still mostly just the mobile phone game). But hey, even thinking it's an exclusive, why would anyone be upset? You'll soon (well, maybe not quite) be getting FFXIII anyway, and you do have a Wii so, you can play it there. Or on your mobile phone.
Also, I asked about this particular game, and not some remake, as that is not announced, while this is. If you want to see a remake, great, but this wasn't what was being discussed so far, since it hasn't been announced as a remake, so for now I think it's safer to assume it's just a port like Crystal Defenders is as they have the same origin, so perhaps you've been having a conversation with yourself over imaginary things only you see, I couldn't forseee that when responding.
Anyway, even if it's a remake in the end, I was talking about a port in the post you chose to respond to now. Not to mention that even a remake may simply be a matter of "it's either a Wii game or we aren't doing it at all" considering not every game Square makes can be 100 years in development with FFXIII's budget, so there's still no reason to be upset as you can simply avoid it and pretend they chose "we're not doing it at all" or something, if you can't be happy it's coming at all.
What I said about the markets, how narrow one is(n't), what saturation each genre has(n't) on each platform, what could have affected the decision of putting it on this or that platform and what not, is all based on such facts, but it's merely a theory that is PLAUSIBLE. I can't know if they're 100% true, as I'm not God, and neither can you, I merely presented alternatives to your theories which you apparently plan to elaborate on, but they'll still be theories, just like mine, so not any more plausible, only affected by a different point of a view and a different bias, and obviously your personal preferences and view of the industry and what is or isn't succesful more than anything else.
In any case, it's clear Square has more faith in the WIi and its potential for JRPG sales than you, hence Crystal Bearers and Dragon Quest X for the platform (as well as this lazy port I guess). I don't see why anyone would be upset or make theories about why it should be on other platforms, after all, each platform (yes, the Wii too) gets plenty of games. But anyway, whatever theories you come up with, it's clear a company that's been in the industry for decades has a different opinion after a couple of years in this generation of consoles, hence why they've started supporting the Wii a lot more than initially. It's much the same course they took with the DS it seems (can't wait for Dragon Quest IX on that).
BTW here's the mobile phone game's official website, it's pretty much of the same quality as the original FFIV of which it's a sequel, so I don't expect a remake, rather a port, keeping it faithful to the original. Think of this as Square's Mega Man 9 rather than their next thing to do after FFXIII.
