Seems to be a lot of misunderstanding on this topic. N'gai isn't suggesting a Wii exclusive. He's suggesting pretty much all games be designed to run on Wii (and low-end PC's) and then upgraded to the HD consoles. So all games will release on all consoles and have A) higher sales B) Much larger installed base on both consoles and PCs
WoW is the poster child for this. Why do you think it's so huge? Because everyone can run it on their PCs is one prime reason. Game developers are just plan stupid when it comes to PCs. The vast majority of people are not willing to sell out $3000 for a high-end PC for the sake of playing a couple games when a $400 PC will run every application they could ever need or a $800 laptop. I personally have given up on PC gaming because the hardware costs have gotten ludicris and unjustifiable.
Now a game doesn't need to look as bad as WoW does. Orange Box will run on my laptop but still looks great on high-end PCs/consoles. Why they didn't port to Wii is beyond me. If my laptop can run it I guarantee a Wii could.
