First off, you weren't even ALIVE when I was playing the NES in 1986, so...there's that.

Why is that relevant to my argument?

And secondly, which game set the standard for console 3D gameplay again? Mario 64 did you say? But how? If the PS1 gave birth to the modern era, that shouldn't be.

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying and have said.

The modern console industry starts with the NES. 

The industry that the NES had is now outdated. Nintendo is the last of its kind, a game developer with a console, the other two aren't primarily thus the 3rd parties have become a lot more important than in the NES era. This is why Nintendo has a hard time competing for the traditional home console market space. The only concern of this thread is the new PS era, or if that is to much for you to bear you can feel free to call it the era of Multiplatforms.




Your age has alot to do with this due to ignorance and not actually being there. I have seen ALL of these changes personally with my own eyes. The "modern" industry has more to it than just playing online and rated M software. Nintendo created the blueprint for the modern industry with the NES by showing other companies how to be successful as a business. Everything from packaging to marketing to hardware (controllers, gameplay etc.)...it all started with the NES. There wouldn't BE a Playstation without the NES. Can you say that in reverse? No? Ok then.

Your analysis only scratched the surface of what really happened. It's got alot of truths, but ultimately, it's half baked. When I said "learn history", it wasn't an insult, it was a valid suggestion. There's alot of info on the internet for free to choose from and if you really care about the industry, I'd definitely read up.
