It doesnt matter if the hardware maker doesnt drop support if all of the 3rd party development stops. The community isnt going to simultaneously support both the market leader (Wii) and 4 non-lead machines (360+1, PS3+1), plus DS+PSP.
3rd parties largely abandoned xbox and gamecube before their respective makers did. Theres really no precedent for significant support for non-market leaders after they launch a new system.
