lets look at it from another angle---
the gaming industry is the exact same except Nintendo never existed. there are 3 platforms, Xbox, PlayStation, and give or take PC. all of nintendo's IPs never happened, and nobody has any idea what they would be like.
the gaming industry would suck. with fun, creative, wacky characters out of the way, companies would constantly be battling over graphics and how many shades of brown you can fit into a single image without trying to invent new ones. party games dont exist. the platforming genre is dead. all the gaming industry has to offer now are mindless shooters and bad indie games. the good innovative indie games never happened in this world, because the games that inspired them, again, never happened. it would be like every movie having the same plot, or every book having the same twists. people would get bored and gaming would die off.
