Seriously, Nintendo is not THAT Important

I never said that uncharted was the first cinematic game. I said it was the game that made cinematic games as huge as they are today. I also said that uncharted was one of the first. I acknoledge that Gears of war also did new things.  Tell me another exclusive, and I can tell you how it's more impactful than a few mediocre video games that copied it. 

Yes, kinnect is seen as very lame generally speaking. I've never seen anyone with a 360 use their kinnect for more than a few gimmicky things that couldn't be done with a controller just as easily. Kinnect integration with Xbox one has had HUGE backlash against microsoft this year. So good job, more crap about how the wii/wiiU has done hardly anything for gaming. 

Uncharted was not responsible for the move  towards more cinematic games, that trend was already well in motion.

You may not like Kinect, I don't either, but its success is clear; it's sold more than most consoles. If the PS3 had never happened, gaming today wouldn't be very much different, but it would be vastly different if the Wii never happened.

People play their ps3's much more than they play they're wii's. Bluray wouldn't be king. Many new franchises wouldn't be there that are. The only game that did anything significant on the wii that was significant was a platformer, and those have existed since the 90s. All you've really been saying is that the ps3 hasn't done anything because it doesn't. You've been defedning against one franchise this entire time, and there are countless others. Uncharted changed third person shooters no matter how you want to look at it. Just like mario galaxy changed platforming. If you can't acknowledge that, you're blind.
