How come it never came out for the Portable? I am an avid PSP fan, and it never came out for PSP. It came out for DS, didn't it? Whas it because Firaxis and Sony had a bad history together? Because Revolution was really only intended for Playstation 2? It just seemed like it would have worked well for PSP.
 
Official word is "lack of resources" and an unwillingness to farm it out.

So, probably a lack of manpower at Firaxis. And it would require quite a bit- they couldn't use the 360/PS3 versions resources, and the reusing the DS resources wouldn't go over well as they are primitive even by DS standards. And probably a mostly new game engine too....

I would guess the Wii version got canned for the same reasons.
 
I think the plan was to devote money made from the 360, PS3, and DS versions towards the PSP and Wii versions, which would use shared art assets. Judging by how fast that game went down in price, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well, which is a shame. I bought the game 3 times, once for the 360, twice for the DS (I lost my first copy).
