I think his point is that Nintendo's new philosophy and the traditional core philosophy are so different that they are incompatible.
To mix the two together can only result in meeting halfway. It's a neither nor situation that does neither approach justice.
But what I think you are saying is that Nintendo will in future use their old franchises to front new games based on the new philosophy, which is an exciting possibility.
They will be a complete departure from previous games in their respective franchises to the extent that they will be almost foreign to core audiences.
Nintendo's new philosophy is about new experiences. It's about challenging the very definition of what constitutes a videogame and pushing boundaries.
That so many haters try to discredit games like Wii Fit and Wii Music as non-games is testament to this very fact.

I love how Wii owners have completely hijacked this troll thread, and turned it into a thoughtful discussion.
Well done, blokes. Well done, and carry on.

@Noname - That was exactly what I was thinking!
@Xponent - That was exactly what I was meaning!
I cannot really see how combining the traditional core values with the new ones could make for games that do not feel like they have a split personality. It's actually for the same reason I cannot see how Microsoft could tap into the popularity of the Wii without having an equally split personality brand. They are opposites, and do not mix well.
And that tied the both discussions together neatly, didn't it?
