I think some people also need to realize that just because he said this, doesn't mean he wont make a game with new characters. He's just trying to say that they ARE making new games.
edit: Although I don't see why you guys are so obsessed over him specifically making the games, there are multiple people at Nintendo making games. He may supervise them, but I don't think Miyamoto would be completely against them making new characters for new IPs.
