This is absolutely shit-bat crazy, insofar as suggested things go.

Miyamoto does not need to retire: he's still the source of the best gameplay mechanics and series ideas in the world.

If anything, he just needs to be given more freedom - at most he needs to be asked to come up with new and more varied series ideas.

I love the idea of new series, but Miyamoto is one of the primary driving creative factors behind everything great Nintendo has ever done (barring the stuff created by Yokoi). You want him to make new stuff? Fine! Great! Crack that whip, get him working like he's 30 again! Let's see what that man can do when his position and his reputation is on the line, when he's not in a comfortable space!

But no. Retiring is not the answer. I reject it, and I reject anyone who agrees with it as a lost cause.
