Miyamoto: "The Revolution will use cutting edge technology, but it's ultimately about how that technology is used."

CNN Money recently sat down with Nintendo superstar developer Shigeru Miyamoto to chat about the company's E3 presentation, what he thought of the competition's offerings...and generally the same issues that have been a hot topic in the gaming community following E3. Although nothing new was specifically revealed, the chat served as another affirmation of Nintendo's over-arcing strategy to target new gamers with fresh game concepts (like Nintendogs) while catering to their core market of fans (with such confirmed titles as Smash Brothers and Metroid). Miyamoto also reiterated Nintendo's focus on providing the development facility that they hope will spur developers to think outside the box. An excerpt from the interview:

While Miyamoto insists the Revolution will have advanced graphics and features, he doesn't want that to be the focus of the machine. Instead, he's trying to encourage developers to think outside of the genres that have become so well known in the industry. In other words, there's more to gaming than role playing, simulation, strategy and action. "Rather than thinking we have a new console, let's make epic games, I want [developers] to make more unique products," he said.

Good times are ahead.
