Halo is the definition of generic, it established itself as the unrivaled standard of the FPS genre and thus now, is just that, the standard, nothing more. Other FPSs have gone on to do more, look better and innovate the genre and gameplay by leaps and bounds while Halo is just still... well, Halo... But Halo is more popular and successful because of its appeal to your core audience of 13 year old boys who think saying the word, "Fuck", when their parent's aren't around is the coolest thing in the world and hate playing anything that requires them to do more than push a trigger button. They're not bad games, in fact, they're great games, but they're not Miyamoto quality, they're not innovative, they just appeal to people that don't want to think too hard about a shoot-em up testosterone game engine.
Miyamoto's comments were off color, but not unfounded, with the dissapointment that Halo 2 was as a game (in spite of its sales), I don't think he's unjustified in the slightest for taking a jab at Halo. Certainly he doesn't have a perfect track record himself, but its Miyamoto, he fucking invented gaming as we know it. He is God. He is your God. You worship him. Don't cop a fucking attitude with original big dick kay Bungee? You're just a little pissant group of nerds whose underfunded antics as Microsoft's bitch doesn't give you the privelage to even thinking you have a dick.
