I think you are taking the term "saved" too literally. Obviously video gaming wouldn't have died but it wouldn't be where it is right now think of saved as in more of the sense of they stopped the videogame industry from choking itself for 5-6 years. I mean I love pc gaming too but seriously its not as important as us pc gamers like to think it is. Thanks to its gotta upgrade cycle of every 2 years it really puts off a lot of average people I've even gotten sick of it by now and will probably only be buying Blizzard pc games from now on since they seem to be the only company aware of the fact that this cycle is choking the industry to death. It amazes me that 300 dollar graphics cards are supposed to be the norm and now some even want to push us to buy physics cards and other such nonsense for another 300 dollars hah to that. Even now in Japan Nintendo was responsible for a large rebirth on an industry that was shrinking even Sony execs have been noted in the last few years to say that we owe Nintendo for revival of an industry that was starting to see a crash simliar to what happened in NA back in the 80's. Yea gaming would definitely still be around without Nintendo but it'd probably not be as big the same with Sony sweeping in during the 90's and bringing a ton of new gamers in with the Playstation. I'd guess Nintendo just gets so much credit for it though because they tend to step in during times of massive shrinking of the industry in whatever market is having the troubles.
