Ok, but in that case, how got Torque approved by MS for XNA/X360?
They're also "just" providing some middle-ware, with an export function?
They followed the 3 steps. They had a game (Marble Madness, or something like that). Microsoft approved it for their Live Arcade. Torque did an engine port.
Note: You still can't buy the Torque XBox Dev kit without getting approved by Microsoft. So you will still have to follow the same 3-steps if you use them.
(Yes, there is a new Torque that uses the XNA Creator's Club, which is cool, but that isn't the same thing as being able to make full 360 games.)

so we make a game, show it ninteno, if they like it we go to conitec, if they like it we searching fo a publisher who will pay the costs... well that sounds like a plan 
You can skip the getting Conitec to like it part.
If Nintendo likes it, all you need to do is come up with some cash (from a publisher, investor, etc.) and Conitec can do the engine port.
The hard part is making and pitching a game to Nintendo or Microsoft. The rest is easy.

But how do we go about the getting Conitec to like the trillion dollars part?

i wouldnt say its that difficult. i talked to a nintendo rep today via phone and while it was just a NOE rep without any idea at all, he was pretty sure that this year 07 that is, nintendo will release development kits for the virtual console at a low price. so basically you could port your games yourself just make sure you have this development kit for wii...
This sounds like a great idea, (not to mention a dream come true) but how hard do you think it would be to do the port. I have a bad feeling it wont be as simple and cut and dry as you make it sound.

Please, please, please read this entire thread.
The development kits are already cheap but they are not available to the general public.
