First of all, those situations aren't similar or comparable. Mario Galaxy had nothing to do with blue ocean strategy or Nintendo's shift into chasing the more casual consumers during that era. The success and feedback from a film (especially genre films) does however directly affect the future decisions of movie execs.

Second of all, I'm only saying you shouldn't give Ready Player One more credit than it deserves, or try to acknowledge it for something that it isn't.

PS2 directly fed into the PS3's loss of billions of dollars and tons of marketshare through building overconfidence in Sony. Is PS2 therefore bad?

I'll give Ready Player One as much credit as I feel it deserves on its own merits, which is quite a bit as to me it was an awesome popcorn flick.

That's an oxymoron. If you're judging something based on your emotional bias, then your aren't judging it on it's merit.
