Given that Miyamoto seems intent on George Lucas'ing all of his idea's to death, I don't disagree with this.

First we must see if he weighs more than an Ocarina of Time cartridge.
Anyways, it seems like Miyamoto's the guy who can turn gamerspeak into executivespeak for the investors, thus many ideas are credited to him because he is the one doing all the talking.
Considering that many people would be happy knowing that a game they worked on was a major hit, you won't see too many people arguing that Miyamoto stole their idea.
For example, somebody goes to Miyamoto and says they want to make an exploration/RTS game. Miyamoto then comes up with the idea of putting it in a backyard and convinces investors that the game will be fun. The original guy, who probably isn't well known, is thrilled that his idea for a game is being used, and that he will probably be maing the game as well. That guy won't be complaining, and he would probably be credited with the original concept, even if nobody really remembers him.
This was just an example, so please don't give me the entire development history for Pikmin.
I'll join everyone who has yelled blasphemy!
Anyway, he may not be God, but he made Donkey Kong, Mario and Zelda come to life. That makes him at least Jesus or something.

If Nintendo didn't rely so heavily on Miyamoto's franchises to exist, it wouldn't have had to make this statement in the first place. I love the original Nintendo games, but the magic wears thin 20 years down the road.
No Nintendo seems intent on George Lucasing all of Miyamoto's ideas. the problem is that they just license out Mario to whomever and they end up making Mario parties with a number higher than 3, and they therefore suck. look at Pikmin, another Miyamoto game that he worked on that was really good, he's a genious it's just that his franchises get shanghaied so Nintendo can make money off the good name of Miyamoto, I'd love to see Iwata do that to his precious Kirby.TsunamiWombat said:
We should also see if he and the cartridge float...hmmm.randommaster said:
Anyway, I understand what the Nintendo prez Satoru Iwata is hinting at, Miyamato isn't the driving force behind it all. He is, however, widly recognized, and that has it uses.
WHAT IS A MAN? A miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk, vice president. HAVE AT YOU!

Miyamoto didn't think of Metroid of direct any of those games, so he's not even the best person at Nintendo.
