Not in the "Solomonoff had the right definition of complexity" sense, but in the sense that any proper probability distribution has to integrate to 1, and so for any definition of complexity satisfying a few common sense axioms the limit of your prior probability has to go to zero as the complexity goes to infinity.

Assuming you restrict to discrete probability distributions.
