It did save gaming in terms of where it was headed and it would have died with nintendo running the ship eventually. People did not realize how much video games could sell until playstation consoles came around. The market was stagnant in comparison to what it could do. Alot of 3rd party sales were generated from playstation console sales. You damn well know that no nintendo console can push the kind of 3rd party game sales a playstation console can. Nintendo carries no weight with 3rd parties because they know that most of their games won't sell that well.
What would happened to a lot of 3rd party devs if they never had those kind of sales? Would they have created some of the games they did? Who really knows but to act like it would have been business as usual without playstation consoles around. lol That's absurd. More than likely, the bulk of third party devs would have went to the pc market and told nintendo to eat it's shorts. If ms still entered the market when it did, the devs would have put games on that console along with pc.
If you disagree with me, by all means have at it. This is nintendo fan forum and I never expected anything different from a nintendo console being the favorite choice or that I would catch some flak for saying something opposed to the group think. I don't really give a shit what nintendo fans think of the best console or best games or what is the most influential console is. We're going to agree to disagree on that stuff and that's that.

That's a rather bizarre way to view things. You do know that 3rd party devs found immense success on the SNES, right? Playstation was a great platform but if it hadn't come along, third parties would have kept on doing what they were doing and making plenty of money. The industry would certainly be different but it would have been fine. A lot of third parties were fully prepared to back Nintendo but backed out because Playstation provided an alternative with some better deals. Honestly, you accuse almkst this entire forum of being fanboys but the only one writing blatant fan fiction here is you.

immense success compared to what? Other 3rd party game sales on nintendo consoles or overall? Third party games did alot better on playstation than they did on nes or snes and there was alot more third party games on it. Fact. Some third party games doing well does not equal to alot of third party games doing well.
What would of happened without sony is console gaming would have remained a kid's hobby and everyone still gaming would have went to pc.
I never said anything close to nintendo fans being fanboys but I did say I won't trust their opinion on gaming topics like best console or best game because they're biased. It's no different than ms or sony fans but this is a nintendo site. *shrugs.
