Resident Evil 5 on wii confirmed?

Simon Jeffrey, known around some parts as the President of Sega, is either very smart or ... not. It's a fairly simple story here -- he casually mentioned Resident Evil 5 in an interview about MadWorld, saying "when that [Resident Evil 5] happens on the Wii, it'll help," referring to attracting more hardcore gamers to the platform.

Later, he referred to the comment as a "slip of the tongue," but that doesn't mean it's not true. If it wasn't true, he would say "mistake". We're not going to hoist the confirmed flag or anything (as some have been awfully quick to do so), but a guy so high up in the industry couldn't possibly pull this rumor out of thin air on the spot, right?

So...it there hope?  Do you believe?

No, I really don't think it's coming.

Downgrading Dead Rising is one thing, but Resident Evil 5? As someone from Capcom said, have you seen RE5?

You realize RE5 is made by Capcom right?

I doubt it will come

How would Simon Jeffrey know anything about that?

With Capcom, anything is possible.

No that would be a huge graphics down grade have you seen the thing its amazing! also HD!
