Miyamoto may design revolutionary/great gameplay but Kojima has managed to lift games to a medium equal to film as a device for deep, meaningful storytelling. He transcended the very definitions of what a video game is by creating the "interactive movie". Miyamoto has never really transcended the medium until the Wii and wiifit in particular.

He didn't invent the interactive movie.  Those were on Sega CD even.  For example: Night Trap.

At what point in an MGS game do you interact with the movie?  Isn't it a back-and-forth between gameplay/movie/gameplay/movie?  Because that's actually a step backwards.  I think you're looking for the phrase "more cutscenes than ever."

 

Games with a lot of cutscenes = interactive movie. The cutscenes are the primary aspect of MGS and the gameplay segmets provide interactivity between storytelling scenes, creating a movie with interactive gameplay pauses.
