I agree with you that Baer is the chief innovator in the video game industry, but the odyssey could not garner the mass appeal which a few years later made atari 2600 a success.mass appeal was what drove nintendo to the top, and revived,not started ,the gaming industry(Baer surely gets that credit).
you must realise the industry today is much diff from what Baer had started ,but Miyamotos work still holds relevence(even among mature gamers).you can call Baer the mother of gaming,but one who couldnt sustain it at all.i mean gaming is about providing an enjoyable experience above everything else, and im yet to see someone bettering miyahon at that(all mature,realistic games included)
and following his vision isnt hurting nintendo one bit this generation,dont you think? just shows that if you have a winner, keep betting on him even if he loses a race
