Publishers Fleeing "Hardcore" Wii Development?

Gamervision:

Last week, Gamervision had a talk with Jools Watsham, owner and game director for Renegade Kid. For those who don’t know, Renegade Kid is one of the few developers known for their "hardcore" Nintendo games, the most recent of which were Dementium and Moon on the Nintendo DS. When asked about their first Wii title, Son of the Dragon, Jools’s answer was interesting to us, though not all that surprising. Here’s an excerpt:

"GV: Whatever happened with Son of the Dragon?

JW: The original project was slatted [sic] as a Wii / DS combo, but due to the sales of "hardcore" games on the Wii it was cancelled by the publisher."

That’s right, it appears that at least one publisher is canceling any "hardcore" Wii games, and, to be honest, who could blame them?
