While not directly, it did have widespread repercussions throughout the industry and around the world. For example... Nintendo originally had a tentative agreement with Atari to market the original Famicom in North America, but that deal fell through because Atari lost too much money in the '83 crash. Nintendo's notoriously strict licensing policies during those days were also a direct result of the '83 crash after the market was flooded with low-quality and in some cases unlicensed titles.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
