Look at how most of those headlines say that he’s retiring, THEN mention he’s making smaller games (one doesn’t even mention that). I think a valid headline would be along the lines of “Miyamoto wants to work on smaller games”. Jim Sterling even wrote “It turns out that Shigeru Miyamoto’s “retirement” yesterday was the result of a misunderstanding at Wired” in Destructoid’s followup piece discussing Nintendo’s denial. But if you go read the original article, Miyamoto directly said “I’m not saying that I’m going to retire from game development … what i really want to do is be in the forefront of game development”. Hey Jim, that’s not a misunderstanding at Wired, that’s a misunderstanding at Destructoid (& Kotaku, & Joystiq …). At least you picked a sweet photo of Shiggy.

THis more or less sums up the high levels of mental retardation that occurred across the field when Miyamoto told Wired he wasn’t going to retire, which everybody saw as an announcement that he’s going to retire.
Jesus. What a bunch of fucking rocket surgeons.
