The answer is yes.
But..................if you wife is already here on a spouse visa then her immigration status is "grandfathered" and these new rules will not impact her (or you) in anyway.
She remains on a 2 year pathway to ILR and cann apply as normal.
Under the new rules then it's only the sponsor's income that's counted. However when the spouse is granted UK entry then her earned income will be counted towards the income requirement after the initial 30 months stay and also when ILR is applied for after the second 30 months stay.
Don't forget that the government has stated it will increase the limits annually.
Hope that helps you
