A portion of a Dean Takahashi interview with Shigeru Miyamoto…

Q: Thank you for doing an interview again. Do you feel vindicated at how well the Wii has been received?

A: I think it is not necessarily vindication but I do get the distinct feeling that because of the Wii, people all over the world are finally taking notice of video games again, when they haven’t for a while.
