Malstrom equates 3D Mario with poison

Gaming as a medium increases with 2D Mario and declines with 3D Mario?

What about when gaming as a medium grew in the days of the PS1 and PS2? Was this not in the same time frame where we had the shift from 2D to 3D Mario?


I think he is crazy is he truly believes that gaming is fully reliant on just Nintendo and Mario, because we have enough to show that this is not the case. Maybe he should have said that gaming for Nintendo rises and falls with 2D and 3D Marios since the darkest days for Nintendo in terms of marketshare were the days the medium grew.

Declined on a per-household basis as multiplatform ownership grew. Also grew largely to penetration of untapped territories (something Sony, more than the PlayStation, gets credit for), not within existing markets.

Before he radicalized, i avidly followed Malstrom's arguments. PS1 and PS2 are handily over-credited for market expansion work.
