Common sense doesn't mean a lot in this case - unless, like Kylie, you want to call Miyamoto a liar. If that's the case, then the burden of proof is on you, and "common sense" does not qualify.

Fine, you keep on believing that Miyamoto wasn't doing PR, and that NSMBW is in fact the pinnacle of what the wii can handle technologically, that in fact the people absolutely most familiar with the system cannot in actuality squeeze any more out of it than what has been accomplished with the monumental technical feat that is NSMBW. Back when the wii was released there were many nay sayers saying "NAY! There can never be a 2d platformer, that looks like a decent improvement over a DS game, running with 4 people simultaneously! The wii cannot handle it! What, with all the goomba matrixes, and Koopa AI and the like!" But, they were proven wrong when Miyamoto personally rolled up his sleeves and showed them that you could get 3....no...no....4!!! 4!!! Players playing at once!!! With some complex abstract mathematics, and a completely new programming language designed entirely for this game alone invented by miyamoto, one could in fact mimic Super Smash Brothers Brawl's Adventure mode with less textures, fewer graphical effects, and midi music, at the expense of online play!
You go ahead and believe it, I'm going to remain incredulous that NSMBW is the pinnacle of wii technology.

He's doing PR by calling the Wii too weak to handle a 2-D Mario and Wii Speak at the same time? That just doesn't appeal to my common sense

Yes. Because the alternative is to say "We would have to put money and resources into making it an online game, and we wanted to produce this as cheaply and quickly as possible". He could've come up with better answers such as "we wanted it to be played locally" which I think he may have said that too, but don't quote me on it. Either way PR doesn't mean good PR, it just means an attempt to convince the public that they should love you and that you aren't trying to milk a lazy product for big profit. So It doesn't offend your common sense that the wii is able to do vastly more complex games with online and wiispeak, and that the max the wii can handle is keeping track of where 15 koopa troopas are, walking back and forth in a set simplistic pattern? The goombas don't activate until you get close to them, they just walk in a straight line, oh, but there are those moving platforms that might be moving even if you're not on screen....that's gotta take some power to keep track of, right?
