Don't read what he's saying like a consumer - if you read it like a designer or producer you can see the points and the context.
By saying graduate he's basically saying that Microsoft would be favorable toward AAA games that are a step up from Wii games in what they are about, but still appeal to the Wii crowd, he's saying that Xbox360 is currently the best platform for this transition for developers.
His explanation was that the games on the Wii let's say Wiisports is made for a 9 year old. If you take into mind that 'casual gaming' is considered a dumbed down gaming and as someone said above "Win button" then what he's talking about is a Microsoft attempt at bridge games.
It only makes sense that he would use the word Graduate as that must be the jargon on the inside for those guys - bridge games or graduate it's all the same in the end.
Oh, and so when he said 9 year old's he's just using the old Microsoft meme of calling nintendo kiddy - which isn't working well as most of the gamers that buy Wii's don't care about the industry - they care about the fun they want from it.
Only people making money from the industry, otaku's and geeks care about what these guys say - but the stigma in the industry is still that Wii is kiddy another is that only Nintendo games sell on their console and so on and so forth.
