That's not how I'd interpret what he said at all.
"Since we first created Mario, people have compared him to Mickey Mouse. I’ve always said Mickey Mouse evolved with each evolution in animation. You saw Mickey Mouse each step of the way. From early on, I wanted Mario to be that character in the digital world, so that with each digital evolution, he was there to usher in the next era. I think that maybe when we release the next hardware system, you can look forward to seeing Mario take on a new role or in a new game."
It's the new role that I think applies to the next gen. I think when Miyamoto says 'new game' he means a new style of game.
I mean, do we really think we're not going to see Mario at all until the next Ninty console? Because that's what a literal interpretation would suggest.
