Not remotely the same thing.

The NES wasn’t the only console being developed during the crash period and released around the same time. Those other consoles would still have released had Nintendo made the NES or not.

The overall point here is that the NES was the first console to become a huge sensation among NA retailers since the crash. That's what he means by "saving the industry". 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
