I'm not sure what he actually meant. Yes the Wii and the Gamecube have similar hardware, it's one of the reasons Wii emulation is at the stage it is now else we'd likely only be playing very few Wii homebrew games or applications.
While the hardware is similar, the hardware in the Wii is more powerful than the hardware in the Gamecube. The Wii GPU is capable of more features than the GPU in the Gamecube. Advancements in Wii emulation will likely benefit Gamecube emulation and vice versa, this is why I am confident that fixing the crashing issue with the Gamecube version of Resident Evil 4 will likely fix the crashing issue with the Wii edition of Resident Evil 4.
I think this is what he meant by his post.
