My opinion is that Mario is the reason most gamers are still playing video games....if it wasn't for the Mario games, video games could have been one of the biggest jokes in technology history.

Absolutley not. I am 26 and my first love of games came from going over my cousins and playing his atari 2600. I got a colecovision when I was about 5-6 years old.

 One thing I believe to be true is that Sony,Sega and MS need to thank Nintendo for saving console gaming(though it seems most of those companies have lost their share of $$$ due to it). PC and possibly Mac gaming would be the 2 main platforms if Nintendo didnt make the NES/Famicom. 

I don't think Sony and M$ would care if consoles wouldn't exist anymore, their main focus is elsewhere anyway. Oh, and on topic: Mario is my favourite charcter. Has been for 20 years now.
