Miyamoto is a great man and a valuable member of the Nintendo corporation, but he is not indispensible. He broke into gaming when few people were really doing it, and a small number of people would be able to competely control a game.

Those days are long gone.

He has not been more than a general supervisor and advisor on most games, including some of Nintendo's biggest titles, for more than a decade. He has thousands of people working under him - I am sure some of them are picking up what he has to teach them.

And with the way the industry has grown, the talent pool should also have grown proportionately. There will eventually be someone who will replace him (and if he's not in the organization now, I am sure Nintendo will find the green to lure him to their company).
