I am sure that a recovery from the crash would happen eventually, and probably sooner than later.
HOWEVER. Even today we have very few (if any) game designers the caliber of Miyamoto. The recovery surely happened faster because of this, and who can deny that he has shaped the face of gaming even to this day?
Whether or not you think the recovery would have happened eventually (I think it would have), you can't escape the fact that the industry is still feeling his hand on the market, and I think in that way it is fair to call him the father of the gaming industry.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
