I don't wish to argue about the size of gaming because we'll never know what it could have been, but without someone pointing out why computer game makers that were making profits would all suddenly disappear then there's no logical reason that the statement given is true. |
I don't think people are seriously arguing that there would be NO video games if not for the NES. I think what people are saying is that video games would not be the huge, multi-billion dollar industry with hundreds of millions of customers today if not for the NES, and I think they're right. The NES saved the console gaming business, which is vastly larger than the PC gaming business.
