Equally the way the interviewer talks about it like moving up from the Wii is graduating from the bush league to head for the majors, when the two groups are more paralell than that.

Don't think like a gamer though, think like a developer. Developing for the wii is ALOT different from developing a full fledged game for either of the HD consoles. The technology is more advanced, the programming methods are more advanced, it requires more money, more people, and more talent. Developers sometimes talk about graduating from the DS to the wii because you can make games for the DS with a much smaller team, with less experience and less money, that's not offensive or a slight to the DS, that's just fact. But to dive into making a good game on the PS360 compared to the wii you have to have alot more than a 12 man team and a few million dollars. So from a developers perspective, yes, you "graduate" from the wii and take on something more ambitions on the HD consoles.

The HD consoles require more talent? Do you really think so? Keep in mind that on the Wii they'll have to compete with Nintendo software.

Programming talent, certainly, or at least more programmers who have talent, if you wish to take advantage of the strengths of the consoles. They'd need more artists with talent too.
Talent in design is a different matter altogether.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
