Yeah, he sure owned him. What, with saying that Harrison isn't a president, or implying that Sony has been in the game industry longer than Nintendo.
He pretty much destroyed him.
The birthday of the MSX Home Computer Standard is June 27, 1983, the day it was formally announced during a press-conference.

Following a series of arcade game successes in the early 1980s, Nintendo made plans to produce a cartridge-based console. Masayuki Uemura designed the system, which was released in Japan on July 15, 1983 for ¥14,800 alongside three ports of Nintendo’s successful arcade games Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye.

So something that was announced (as a Personal Computer )18 days before the NES was released pre-dates it?
Even if you consider that true, Nintendo has been in the videogame industry since 1981 with the release of Donkey Kong ...
