His point wasn't that he doesn't think games can make people cry: he thinks games can elicit a range of emotion that other mediums maybe can't, or games can do those emotions better than other mediums can. So rather than trying to imitate what books and film do emotionally, he wants to concentrate on what games are good at more naturally.
