A couple years back, Konami had an "exclusive" agreement with Nintendo to release all their Resident Evil games on Nintendo's Gamecube, but they later bailed on the deal and ported those games over to Playstation 2 when it was clear PS2 was selling better.

But now with the siutation reversed, all these game companies keep tossing their best titles on the PS3 and ignoring the hugely successful Wii. It's very frustrating for me as a Wii owner. Haven't these companies ever heard of supply and demand? It's like they want to go down with the ship. The only way I can play these games is by buying the Windows version.

Resident Evil 4 is the best game on the Wii, and you’re saying that Resident Evil 5 is PS3-exclusive? That’s no good.
