Did the internet survive the bursting of the .com bubble?
The videogame crash of 1983 was the exact same situation. It only affected America and it was the direct result of over-eager investors and their goldrush mentality.
Any industry that experiences such rapid growth is bound to crash eventually. Such expansion is just not sustainable.
Also, it is fair to say that the NES would have been just as successful with or without Miyamoto. Their was certainly no cult of personality around developers then like there is now, and the NES didn't have any significant competition until the Master System arrived on the scene.

Games on the 2600 may have been inferior to games on the NES, but Nintendo didn't make "better" games than Atari. If you look at the arcade games Atari were making at the time you will see that they were considerably more innovative than Nintendo, or pretty much anyone else for that matter. In those days the arcade side of the business was the biggest earner and got all the best games.
