Miyamoto: Not Worshipping At DLC’s Altar

During an interview with San Jose Mercury-News, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto devalued the significance of digital distribution in the company’s future.

Shigeru Miyamoto said:Personally, I’m one of those guys who, even if I have all the songs from iTunes, I want the CD as well. I feel more reassured with that physical media. Entertainment is something that will not just become digital. If I look at Wii MotionPlus, this is something that you’re not doing via digital distribution. The thing for us is we really don’t see the future of video games being merely confined to digital distribution or moving solely or even to a majority of our products being distributed that way.

This isn't Nintendo flipping the bird at digital distribution, as such more just informing the public that they intend to keep physical media will still be their stapled way for their publications.
