Yes and no. Their new president definitely favors the HD consoles over the Wii, as he himself has publicly said a few times. But I really don't think he "hates" the Wii: he just worked for Capcom during the Gamecube era, when working with Nintendo led to Capcom losing millions, so he's understandably a bit leery. Apart from that, I do get the feeling that he personally wants to go the High-Def route, yes. But he (or at least Capcom as a whole) seem to be more than willing to put that feeling aside in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. I don't think Capcom's president is going to love working with the Wii, certainly not on the scale of Will Wright, Gabe Newell, et. al. But everything I've seen says he's perfectly willing to work with it, so long as it keeps his bottom line afloat.

The Gamecube was not the reason Capcom lost money. They were just spending too much money on their games. A couple included RE0 and RE4 (which did make a profit on the GC, but it was already going to be ported just in case), but others were some PS2 and Xbox games.
So that more had the effect or more multiplatform games since then. About their only exclusives are smaller budget games, like Zak & Wikki and RE UC (since it used the Re4 engine).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
