Great rebuttal.
I have thoughts on the matter and too many people are reading two sentences and jumping to the wrong conclusion.
Here is the TL;DR version for you:
Miyamoto is not biting the hand that feeds him. Wii Sports is not a "passive" game for people who "want to watch a movie."
Miyamoto's most recent game, Pikmin 3, is very accessible to "casual" gamers. It's really not very difficult, but even so the game won't play itself.
There may be some gamers who play his games "passively," but he is saying he doesn't want to cater to that style of play, and I don't think he ever has.
So, Miyamoto is not explaining any kind of shift in any direction, certainly not "away from casuals."
I hope that is succinct enough for you?
