Fair enough.
I would point out, though, that Nintendo deliberately and repeatedly went out of its way to single out Sakamoto before the game was released, and (in my opinion) engaged in revisionist history to make him single-handedly responsible for the earlier Metroid titles, as well as (in objective terms) to promise that Other M would have that Super Metroid magic.
Basically, even if you're right, the perception started with Nintendo's own PR.
I'll also add that there are plenty of examples to the contrary. The success of such games as Mario and Donkey Kong, as well as the less-successful Pikmin etc. are pinned on Miyamoto personally, not his teams. It does cut both ways.
