to me nintendo is probably the main reason why videogames are still seen as kids toys (aka. something that's not worth spending time with if you reach a certain age) and not as a serious form of entertainment art (aka. something that can be worth spending some time with regardless of age) by hudge parts of our soceity. imo we'd be much further down the line in accepting videogames as an artform without nintendo.

Ironically, Nintendo has been the only publisher able to successfuly gather a large audience over the age of 30. 

ok, let's assume it's true, how did they gather that audience? because if they mainly did it with wii-fit, mario, and loyal nintendofollowers from the 8-16bit era i doubt it has much of an positive impact towards changing soceitys view of gaming from waste of time to worth the time.
