What's going on with developers nowadays?  Seriously.  Here we have, obviously, the most powerful consoles ever created by the hand of humankind for the sole purpose of entertainment and it would seem that developers have chosen, for at least one major title, to turn their backs on the core gamer and look to the casual gamer for their major source of income.

Indiana Jones is a movie icon that translates fantastically well onto games because of the exploration, traps and goals elements, as well as the combat, of course, so I can't quite understand why LucasArts have chosen to take the new Indy game, Indiana Jones and the Wonky Willy (working title, I think) away from the HD, more capable consoles of Xbox 360 and PS3 and leave them on the Wii, DS and, possibly the PS2. 

As I said on the forum, maybe they couldn't quite get the graphics up to scratch, so thought it would be easier to put them on the lower-spec consoles so it doesn't matter so much or maybe they know that the Wii, the DS and the PS2 are still pretty much the cheapest options for a new release of such a franchise that captures that lucrative casual gamer market that Nintendo dominates at the moment and so why bother with the more powerful machines?

Core gamers want to see what their costly consoles can do and if developers can't be bothered to develop for them, then maybe the seventh generation of consoles will be the last as more and more developers lose their bottle and stick to what's out and makes the most money...

Grim, eh?
