Miyamoto talks again....

[A Black Falcon]

In their other comments, Nintendo pretty much said that they think people sometimes want the big epic titles, but that not all games should be that way, and with rising game budgets, it's heading in that direction... they're right about the budgets part, and they're right that those budgets mean 'bigger' and 'safer' games, of course (as we've said here many times before). But the problem is, at least in the US people still WANT a lot of those aspects that the high budgets bring. It's Japan that has the problem with falling game sales, not here... so this approach, while just as true industry-wise here, just doesn't seem likely to have as much of an impact on the industry in the US. Or on the gaming public.

Even so, given that at this point Nintendo would probably never win if they tried to be just like Sony and MS, it's really all they can do, and hope for the best...
