Wii owners don't need to have heard of Warren Spector. That's what Mickey Mouse is for, Warren Spector is there to make sure the people that are drawn (by Mickey Mouse and the avalanche of advertising) in end up enjoying it (+word of mouth). As for the art style, it may or may not be a hit with Wii owners, but I think people will be fine with it.
If it only sells a million, I imagine they'd be disappointed, if you consider what Warren Spector said Disney's aim for the game was...
As for all devs capable of making poor games, sure they all do, though I don't see why I shouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt (what was his last poor game?). The in-game screenshots do look plain, but they have plenty of time to flesh it out.
Honestly, comparing this game to something like The Conduit (which I've always been skeptical of) is a joke. All The Conduit had going for it was the game engine (which... isn't saying much). Epic Mickey features freakin Mickey Mouse (who's known by virtually everyone), and a proven developer to keep it from sucking (Conduit failed here).
