This may be Nintendo-ish, but it's a big deal, so it's going in here.

Basically, he's leaving his post as the head and instead working on more personal games. This is a sort of good thing, in my opinion, as they need his touch on more original games.

An official statement has been issued by Nintendo:

"Video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto's role at Nintendo is not changing. He will continue to be a driving force in Nintendo's development efforts. In discussing his priorities at Nintendo in a media interview, Mr. Miyamoto explained how he is encouraging the younger developers at the company to take more initiative and responsibility for developing software. He attempted to convey his priorities moving forward, inclusive of overseeing all video game development and ensuring the quality of all products. Mr. Miyamoto also discussed his desire to pursue fresh ideas and experiences of the kind that sparked his initial interest in video games."

Someone at Wired just sucks at interpreting.
