This is what Miyamoto said according to the Wall Street Journal:

“A lot of games nowadays look so realistic that they all look the same”

Did he point the finger at any games in particular? Not as far as I know, the quote doesn't mention it. So the immediate question that comes to mind is 'why do some people then immediately start bringing up specific examples as though Miyamoto was talking about those?'

Miyamoto should just start declining interviews because too many people start extracting meaning that wasn't actually there.

He said something along those lines in an interview about starfox and starfox graphics/art. He was not prompted to say anything about other games. Especially not a huge untrue generalization. He did it to try to make star fox zero look "unique." 

Context is everything

Do you have a transcript of said context? Footage would be nice.

This wasn't a live interview so there is no footage I know of. This was posted by a lot of news sources.

here is one:

http://nintendoeverything.com/miyamoto-says-star-fox-zeros-style-was-made-with-a-purpose-games-look-the-same-these-days/

Literally he is claiming that most realistic games look the same, and that starfox is different due to its "cartoonish" art style.

Is it really that hard to show humility and say that star fox graphics are influenced by frame rate and performance? This is why I respect Hayashi's response better

So you don't have a transcript? The link you provided contains no such thing. You claim that "context is everything" so do you have a transcript of said context?

By the way, Miyamoto was quoted as saying "a lot", not "most". There's a difference.

Really?! You have me look for a source and now you want me to look for an interview in text?

I'm gonna stop here because I have better things to do.

I will say that I have already posted more context for this scenerio than your original comment (it's relation to starfox for example).

By the way, regardless of whether he said "a lot" of "most,"  point is he was making a huge generalization about realistic looking games of various genres
