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.

This award should be given based on greatness.

Yes, Kojima is great, but creating the "interactive movie" isn't the only thing that qualifies as great. Miyamoto has created legendary characters, masterpieces, and an enormous userbase, not only as a developer, but as a project leader and top office-holder at Nintendo. His ideas are spawned in ways that no one else has shown. Miyamoto is great, a great that Kojima has not yet reached.

 

 

Miyamoto' greatness extends only to video games however he has never transcended the medium (til wiifit) to create an entirely new concept of gaming. An interactive movie is something that merged two competiting, distinct mediums into a complementary single whole. Kojima transcended the entire entertainment industry when he created MGS. Films, music and video games as a single package.
