Here's what he really said:
Translation:
--Finally, please tell us your thoughts about the gaming industry; present and future.

Nishino: First off, there's the issue of what is happening with game hardware. Looking at "Wii Fit", that isn't in the realm of games anymore. I have mixed feelings when these types of titles end up being top sellers. I used to develop casual titles and would like to see said titles to be a catalyst for converting casual gamers to mainstream gamers. In the end, though, I would really like to see casual gamers try titles games which can be classified as games, such as "Valkyria Chroniles".

This is from the creator of Super Monkey Ball. I doubt he doesn't like casual games.

He's still saying wii fit isn't game, though

It isn't in the traditional sense of the word, but it game that makes you aware of your weight. A genre founded by Nintendo with the DS and Wii. At least that's the best explaination I can come up with for this guy.
