Mind you, Nintendo wasn't the only player at the time. Sega and Atari were competing for 2nd place, so if Nintendo had never been around, it's possible Sega or Atari might of become the primary leader of the industry. Now, if Atari, Sega and Nintendo didn't exist, I'd agree that the PC gaming market would of expanded un-impeded, and would likely have total dominance at this point.

The Atari is what killed gaming... it wouldn't of brought it back... while sega really didn't have the funding before the NES came out in 83.

They were killed by the crash, had to sell off their assets. I doubt CSK would of taken the risk on Sega making a console until the NES success hit it's stride.
