Nintendo always put gameplay first and sacrifice storyline and such?

I don't think this is quite right, since Miyamoto's remain the best-selling in the world in any given period of time.

Never mind the sales, I am not discussing Miyamoto as a genious. I am just saying that, beyond what he has offered us, he could do/have done even more if he didn't subestimate story in every project. Something similar to say he could offer us "new things"/"better things" if he wanted to.

That kind of runs against Miyamoto's vision of what a game should be, though. He lets other people fill the niche for narrative-driven games, while he himself adress the (much) larger niche of people who do not need narrative for their entertainment.
