While Nintendo have made immense contribution to the gaming community, they have also stifled it for almost a decade due to the total domination of the NES and Nintendo's bully tactic when it comes to software development in those wild west days. If not for Sega forcing Nintendo's hand one must wonder how much longer people would have been stuck with their 8 bit NES.
Acknowledge Nintendo as a pillar of the gaming institution, but always encourage competition.
If there is no M$ or Xbox, then there would have been a small chance that Sega and the Dreamcast might still be alive. I would most likely be an advocate of its successor as I've enjoyed Sega's console since the 8 bit days. They've had their share of screwups but their games always had more appeal to me than Nintendo's first party contributions
