I don't think they are going to support them any more than they are now to be honest. People seem to forget that the market Sony and Microsoft are focusing on is just as profitable as the casual market. Do you know how much money Microsoft raked in with Halo 3? A hell of a lot more than Nintendo did with Wii Sports.
Wii Sports is free in most of the world.

Halo 3 didn't do as well as Microsoft was expecting. (I know this because it cost me my job.) Microsoft is just now over the last few months beginning to make a profit, and only on a monthly basis, not overall. The PS3 is doing better than it was, but it's still not profitable. Nintendo has been making money with the Wii since day one. They don't sell the hardware at a loss. None of their own games have been commercial failures.

Nintendo has been making ridiculous amounts of money since they launched the Wii. Lots more than their competitors.
