Robert_Downey_Jr. said: Nope. It was a crash but like the stock market gaming was always gonna come back. Nintendo happened to be at the right place at the right time and capitalized on a vacant market. The crash wasn't this long dark ages. It was like 2 years where things got saturated and new sales slowed down. |
It wasn't going to comeback, Nintendo literally nearly killed themselves risking to put NES in retailers for free just so they could accept the NES in store shelves. Everyone thought video games were a fad and the industry was DEAD DEAD, it wasn't just a decline in sales like you're making it out to be. The stock market bounces back because people desperately attempt to bring the economy back on it's feet since people live off it, no one lives off of video games and nobody cared about it, so no company would've taken the effort to attempt to revive it.
