Re last edit: People don't cite him as just great, he really is considered the greatest by quite a margin.


Many hold that that title goes to Sid Meier or Will Wright. Myself, I think it goes to Chris Crawford, though of course I'm nearly alone in that. :) Moreover it's easy to think Shigeru Miyamoto is the greatest game designer in the world if he's the only designer whose name you actually know. Certainly Miyamoto's games have been among the best selling, but that's usually only one factor in determining the "best"; it can even be argued it's no factor at all.
