He's comparing it to the Wii and how games had to be radically altered for it.  

Do you really think so?

After all, no previous Assassins game was developed for the Wii (maybe internally they tried, but we don't know), so how can he make that comparison?

EA Montreal has developed 6 Wii games so they are familiar enough with the hardware to make such a statement. 

And I don't really think it's even necessary to have worked on Wii anyway as anyone in the industry would know the Wii is not on the same graphical level as the PS3/X360.
