Great interview joystiq with a great games designer, he is the only big cheese at any of the top three companies who doesn't talk in business cliches. You listen to Bill Gates, Peter Moore, Phil Harrison, Kutaragi they all sound like door to door salesmen who may as well be selling insurance rather than video games. Miyamoto is the only one who talks with real passion to real gamers in a way we can all relate to. Whether or not you like nintendo is irrelevant, anyone can see that they are the company who is making the boldest steps to push the industry forward and make it the mass market media it deserves to be. This will benefit everyone - games players, games creators and games sellers. My only fear is that in the modern world we live in people are mindless followers of the adage of bigger faster stronger and shell out for sony's new beast without even thinking. I really hope that nintendo succeeds in proving that the experience of playing is the key rather than just the allure of prettier graphics. I for one don't want to be playing yet another WWII 1st person shooter in another 40 years time that has exactly the same control system but more realistic looking textures. I want something new.
