Miyamoto seems to know there's more to a good game than fast hardware, that's true. But unfortunately, many people don't. I wasn't there and have not seen the psx2 demos, but if it was just huge polygon throughput, that doesn't impress me at all. They can do more polygons now? Fine, but let's see what they make of it.
And in recent years, as I predicted, advancements in technology have once again brought programmers and engineers to the forefront of game design, and we are now in age in which we cannot accomplish anything new without these individuals. Sad but true. I always liked those games the most which didn't use the most modern hardware, but concentrated on ideas and good gameplay.
