Miyamoto does not use focus groups. Instead, Miyamoto figures out if a game is fun for himself. He says that if he enjoys it, others will too. He then tests it with friends and family. Miyamoto wants players to experience kyokan; he wants "the players to feel about the game what the developers felt themselves.

A simple look at sales tells us that is not what gamers want.

Thus the question remains if he ever was thinking about retiring why not at the low point. Let new guys take the wheel.

in other words he has lost touch for years, so let him enjoy fishing and eating pizza while retired.


What sales are we looking at here?

declining hardware/software all around

And how does Shigeru Miyamoto tie into this? Last I checked, he was only responsible for 2 games. Pikmin 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U (including DLC). Pikmin 3 selling 730k and NSMBU selling 3.74 million - with Luigi U selling 1.37 million.
