I don't particularily believe him. Developers can propose new games on which ever platforms they want. They can then decide to fund the title internally until they find a publisher. HVS wasn't contacted by Sega and told "We want a Wii game" they created the basics for the game then proposed the game to Sega.
Double Fine could propose titles to the publishers something he does not say he's done. Now if the studio decides to just work for hire and not propose any of their own ideas then I guess his explanation pans out. But it's not entirely the publishers decision, they could put forth some game ideas themselves.
Now judging from what he said Double Fine doesn't have the capital to develope a game themselves. But then I have to wonder how HVS could develope so many titles on their own? Double Fine could now propose a port of Psychonauts to Wii and I bet Majesco wouldn't object.
Where theirs a will theirs a way its just Double Fine does not have the Will!
