| PenguinZ said: The NES as it brought gaming back from the abyss in the US, but among other reasons Nintendo has been the innovator in general when it has come to console gaming. It's hard to imagine where Sony or Microsoft would be without them. |
Gaming never died as the 2600 fizzled out. Gamers grew up. We moved onto Commodores and other home computers, but we still gamed. There were a lot of options available to us so there was no standard or huge success story. In fact, it was common to buy a competing computer than what our friends owned for wider gaming options. Nintendo brought back a dedicated videogame system, but they didn't exactly reinvent the wheel.
