One of Spores developers says "Wii is a piece of..."

People in the industyr may love it, but they also loved stuff like Okami. The game doesn't have much mass market appeal, at least in my opinion. In regard to his comments, who cares? People in the industry are more critical then the gamers because they deal with these systems. Remember Carmack the other week ripping Sony apart because of it's developer tools? Again it's just one man's opinion. Even if he is respected. Secondly he obviously is not in the hardware business, as he simply expects Nintendo to jump on the graphics train with Sony and Microsoft and take a billion dollar loss. Anyone who's taken a business course knows the rules of business, there has to be two products on the market, the high end product, that's expensive but bought because of it's added value, and the cheap product that's bought because of it's price. Nintendo added to the mix a creative twist with motion controls, but ultimatly they can only survive in this industry by being the cheap gaming solution.

Uh, well, Spore is definitely high up there...pretty sure it's in the top 10. I definitely agree that it wouldn't be good for Nintendo to take a ride on the graphics train...being cheaper than the other consoles gives Nintendo a huge advantage, and with all the buyers the Wii will still get great games, despite its graphical and processing shortcomings.
