His tone is bad, and his statment may be overly harsh, but I can understand why a WiiWare developer may not want their new and completely original title sitting on a service where 90% of the titles are ports/remakes of popular games with very little new content ...
XBox Live Arcade's current line-up probably makes it very popular with retro-gamers (similar to how the Virtual Console works) but an indie developer wants people who are looking for new original games in order to maximize their potential sales. If you're working on the "Geometry Wars" of 2008 you don't want people to pass by your game (thinking it is crap) because they haven't heard of it, and then for them to choose to play asteroids instead.
