No More Heroes Dumping Wii for 360 or PS3?

In a startling statement by Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda, the acclaimed No More Heroes series will be abandoning the Wii for a “new platform.”
Suda states:
“I really want to make NMH a big franchise and with this second episode have bigger success. I’m putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there’s a lot of potential. “I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”
No More Heroes was our 2008 Wii Game of the Year, but only sold an embarrassing 440,000 worldwide, with a puny 74,000 sales in the first week. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is due for release on the Wii sometime in January 2010.
How do you think No More Heroes would translate to the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?

It will need a definite graphical upgrade. I know the retro styling was part of the original design, but I don’t think it will fly on the 360 or PS3.

I have just (bleeped) myself for the third time today. Not because I want this game, but because I cant control my (bleep). That is all.
