Miyamoto:
"I can't say we have seen everything already, but I'm sure we won't see the huge accelerations we witnessed in the past years: things are going to change, but in a slowest way."
Compare and contrast with Bill Gates's "we are defining the future of videogames" spiel.
Is gates just hyping his console up? Or has Miyamoto lost his vision? Clearly Shigsy knows a lot more about games than Gates does, and after the jump from the SNES to the N64 you can see why the next generation doesn't seem so special.

Miyamoto is being realistic. Ofcourse he's got vision, He's making a brand new look Zelda! It's just that he knows there isn't as big a change in the way games look as there was previous consoles.

Bill Gates on the other hand is just talking out of his backside. I remember when Microsoft had something to do with Segs "joining" Microsoft on their website, Bill Gates had a big speech you could listen to on there, it was mostly propaganda about how great the X-box is, and only 10 seconds seemed to be about Sega. Sega didn't join Microsoft anyway, they signed a deal to make games as they have Nintendo and Sony.
