Miyamoto sees games as a medium to give gameplay, meaning everything else is just the support for good gameplay. That's how gaming started and that's how gaming is in its "purist" form.
However there are lots of other approaches to game design and I would really like to see games from Nintendo that can also tell a story and have good cinematics--I just don't want games that are TOO cinematic since those ARE really boring. Games with only story (like Visual Novels) are ok once in a while but are also kind of boring and feel more to me like... well, a visual novel, than a game in the normal sense.
But yeah, I don't think having only games with good gameplay is always good because there are lots of way to design games and while he's right that only games can do certain things, at the same time they can also do everything--they can implement good music, good cinematics, good story, good atmosphere, AND good gameplay. That's much better to me than just a game that has just good gameplay and music or just good story and atmosphere or just good cinematics. :P
So for once, I guess I kinda disagree with Miyamoto and think he could stand to be a bit more open-minded
