Don't you hate it when assholes like Kotaku's own Brian Ashcraft fold their hands in front of their sternum, bob their heads up and down and start talking about Iwata-san and Miyamoto-san? Listen, you fucking nerd... this is the You! Ess! Ay! It's' Mister Miyamoto' to you. 'SIR. '

Getting that out of our system, Miyamoto-whatever-san has granted an interview to Edge magazine about Nintendo's attempts to awaken the beast of gaming deep within the breasts of housecoat wearing moms and pablum-drooling geriatrics everywhere with their DS and Wii consoles. Next Generation has posted some contextless highlights and it's good reading, if you're as charmed as we are by Miyamoto's effusively polite optimism.

He even has some compliments for Sony and Microsoft, although the quality of those compliments makes it clear that they ushered forth from his stretched, corpse-like lips only because he felt pressured. "In the case of Sony, I think their endeavors to create new chips and then to make enough of them to reduce the manufacturing cost - I think that's something that's nice for this industry, as well as for other industries." That compliment probably sounded a lot less backhanded before Sony announced their new console would cost six hundred bucks.
