The Wii is not a small theater in NY or LA. That metaphor is a total lie.

You totally missed the metaphor.  The metaphor was to say that the Wii is like a smaller town with a couple of metroplexes.  It gets a lot of the typical movies, but it won't get the art house stuff.  There are a lot of these smaller towns around.  The HD twins are the NY or LA, with both mass market and art house theatres.  They get everything, because that's where the concentration of the art house appreciative audience is.  Overall there are likely fewer art house loving people there than the smaller towns combined, because there are likely a small number of art house movie loving folks in each small town, and they add up to more audience than the crowd in NY and LA.  But they are never going to get the art house movies.  It is how the movie industry gets the best bang for their buck.
