higher production cost -> more expensive games -> more piracy -> ???

And fewer publishers, fewer projects, fewer risks...

I find it odd that Guillemot seems to think this fate is inevitable when little developers like Nintendo and Blizzard rake in billions without going anywhere near top-end tech. But hey, Ubi's actually in the black (last I saw, anyway), so I guess business as usual is doing alright by him.

Ubisoft must be making lots of money from their cheap DS and Wii games though.

Unfortunately their financial reports aren't very informative.
