Yes, but without Mario ther wouldn't be a console industry after the video game crash of 1983- ever heard of that one? We would all be gaming on PCs now if it weren't for Mario and Nintndo.

try harder

If they didnt do it Sega would have, if not them then some one else at a later date.  If Apple didnt pull of the smart phone someone lese would have.  

I guess you are the type that thinks if not for henry ford we be rolling on horse pulled buggies still and if not for the wright brothers we would have never flown.

lol

We both know that GAMES sell consoles, and did Sega have the games neccessery to sell their system? Not until Sonic, and he was designed to compete directly with Mario. Apple would never have ventured into console bussines unless it was lucrative, and who made it a lucrative busniess again? Nintendo.

And consider this; would anyone really have tried to revive the console market if the PC gaming scene had grown big enough? No, they would have made PC games insetad. Sony would never have made a console, Microsoft would never have made a console

Yahh they did, sega had the games to pretand other wise just shows you are desperate to argue pro nintendo no matter what.  Ill explain sine you dont understand hwo things work.  Sega had to directly compete with Nintindo so they made Sonic, same way MS made Forza due to GT and now moneyhated Lara casue they are desperate for something to stand vs Uncharted.  Same way sony went balls out on shooters last gen even though they arent very good at them, they need to compete.

yeah ok, name the Sega game that could have single handedly revived the whole industry back in 83-85. I'm not desparate at all, but I am beginning to understand that discussing these things with you will lead no where. I'll be enjoying reading the replies you have in store for the other posts that's called your logic out...

I don't think Sega had any arcade game popular enough like Donkey Kong that would inspire the system seller that is Super Mario Bros.

I knew from your first post discussing it with you was pointless but i humored you in an attemp to educate you.  But seems clear its futile. Especially if you want to talk about logic, your last post looked like an argument of very childish nature.  Aka if this does not happen then this wont and this wont and sure that, that is you your logic sadly.   Cringe worthy.

The next best thing is what, its how the real world works.  Take away the market leader the next best product takes its place.  Find the best selling or most suited game for console and you will have your anwser.   Its just very basic consumerism.

Night Driver, and Pole Position. Two of the earliest first person racers.

Space Invaders

Mario

Myst.

There are a lot of noteworthy franchises. For me, Halo was important because it sort of revolutionised the console FPS. Halo CEA and it's Xbox One MCC counterpart still look and play amazing. the Halo games just don't get dated and each dares to bring something special to the franchise (Even Halo 3: ODST, which I like).

If you knew it from my very first post, when did you then bother to reply in the first place? And mind I point out the fact that you gave neglacted to answer any other reply you've gotten? Anyways, I think we can both agree that we shouldn't be having any further arguments on this forum.

Have a nice one.

Doom.

Wolfenstein came first but Doom made the FPS genre explode. Arguably the most important PC game ever created.


i like that. yeah

 

 

but still

mario >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> zelda/ff/halo/cod/gta/gt/pokemon

Half life. This is still the archetype of what every FPS is nowadays. Scripts, In-Game cinematic, scenario and dialogues, 3D, multiplayer. And FPS are still big. You can find that in previous games (dark forces, etc.), but not in real 3D, and not with so much impact. I could agree also on Doom, which definitely had an immense impact. Wolfenstein was first, but it really feel like a draft, it's hard to relate with such primitive, repetitive and inartistic graphics.

Mario was very important, but it only remotely relate to current AAA. As for it to revive an entire industry, I strongly disagree. Nintendo made an excellent console at the right cost, and other excellent games, and in fact the market never really crashed in Japan, the arcade was still big, and even in Europe (and I presume there were in USA) we had a full range of computers that provided a fair amount of games in the 80's. If we have to take an old game, Pacman and space invaders would qualify better.
