You have to remember that the hardware was basically the same as the Gamecube, just with a speed boost. So that means they hade a LOT of time to get used to the hardware.

That said the Xbox's gpu is on par with the Wii's, slightly more powerfull if you take memory bandwidth in to account. Altough Wii has slightly more RAM. So yes they could be possible on a 6th gen console if the developer hade enough time for it.

So you are saying it would take more time and potentially reductions due to having less RAM for one of the better Wii games to appear on the Xbox. Isn't that just saying that it can't be done with the same graphical faithfulness?

Honestly this is like comparing the SNES and Sega Saturn, with a different medium and constraints due to the hardware many of the Saturn games could have been on the SNES.

We are talking maybe a little lower texture quality here, nothing major. To put it differently the difference between Xbox and PS2 is much bigger than Xbox and Wii, and those are from the same generation. The original Xbox even has things that can't be done on the Wii, like more advanced shader support. The question was if something similiar could have been done and the answer is yes. If you are talking about can't be done i'm thinking along the lines of Uncharted on the original Xbox, the resolution alone is much bigger.
