Yet another new Aonuma interview

I went to the trouble of "posting" those two "articles" in the expectation that you would "read" them. Obviously you did not. So you made yet another post that is wrong because you didn't pay enough attention.

Uh, no. Unless Yoshiro Mori is actually Satoru Iwata, and 'some analysts' that Japanese industry paper? I don't think so either. They aren't the exact same news item! Making similar points, sure, but it's not the same news item. Those two were, if you actaully read them, talking about a article in a recent Japanese paper... the Nintendorks article is talking about something else. It's not the same news. It's similar news (and also similar to what Nintendo said at E3 actually), but from a different person at a different time.

And let's look at their comments.

The Big N has stated that the "Revolution" will not be a successor to the GameCube. As Nintendo Senior Managing Director Extraordinaire Yoshiro Mori told some analysts recently, "This won't be a continuation, but rather something entirely different."

"A 'successor' is really just an issue about wording. Whether the Revolution is or isn't the successor to the GameCube isn't too important, but we can't say anything about that subject today," stated Iwata during the press conference.

Commenting in the Yomiuri Shimbun, one of the leading Japanese newspapers, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said he expects GameCube to sell alongside "Revolution" for quite some time, anticipating a success similar to what Sony saw with the PSone during the PlayStation 2's ascent.

Yeah, this is exactly the same news story.
