While I agree with your top 2 I disagree with the Nintendo rant. They took the industry out of a 2 year decline. It's not like games were going to stay down forever. If they hadn't done it someone else would have. The crash hadn't been going on for 20 years or something there was obviously a market there. Also Playstation and Xbox would probably still be here. MAYBE they would be a couple years later but it's not like the market would have never come back.


The "Someone else would have done it eventually" argument is pretty weak. You could say that about most things...

yeah you could and it is true with most things.  Sorry but the crash wasn't this massive dark ages.  It was a brief period where Atari crashed because of their retarded policies and mismanagement and since they controlled a lot of the US market the US market "crashed."  It was quickly revitalized when a player from the non-crash Japan decided to test out the MASSIVE audience there that had proven it loved gaming in the past.  SEGA probably would have nutted up a couple years later and done it or maybe another Japan maker.  Nintendo was just the first and being older should get you any special consideration.
