In later era, absolutely, but I'd say N64 was more of inevitability of where graphics were going - Namco, Atari and SEGA were pushing 3D flat shaded and then later textured 3D arcades as the hottest thing, all featuring dedicated 3D hardware. At the time (late 80s, early 90s), PCs had 3D strictly via software CPU rendering, so they were actually a bit late to the party, hardware-wise at least...but as I said, by the time N64 released, several 3D cards were already on the market.

The NES established the modern console effectively.

The PS1 completely smashed down the social barriers and massively expanded the market,

The Atari 2600 did it, not the NES. It was already a 30M console before.

The NES got gaming back on its feet after the Atari 2600 failed to find a balance between shitty games and moving fowards.

But Atari was the one that did it all first. Console gaming already a strong gen before the NES. Even the gaming mascot, we already had Pac-Man, which was HUGE in arcades and came to the Atari 2600 before the NES as well.

Even as I consider pre-NES games to be mostly vastly inferior to post-NES ones, we already had even Nintendo games on arcaded before too, Mario and Donkey Kong were born there. Punch-out too.

The NES.

Not just for reviving the console market (and bringing it to Europe btw), but also due to it's controller. Just compare the controllers of Atari 2600 and others of their generation and the NES: D-pad, Start & Select buttons (or something along those lines), AB buttons (which now have become ABXY with a second row of buttons), those have all become standard nowadays, as have holding the controller essentially sideways and not like a remote.
