"Did they think that devs were just going to drop what they were doing and start from scratch on Wii??"
Considering that it would lower budgets, get a larger audience years ago, and still have superior graphics on multiplatform versions on the other systems? Yes.
It is BS to insist developers get to call the shots, ignoring the will of the customers, and the realities of economics. You insisted before that it was the customers' fault for expecting Wii support, not developers for refusing to give it. That shows you have fallen for the myth of the artist being superior to the patron.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
