I don't get where all the fuckin Hate is coming from. Read everything and stop bitching

CGI- Good read though I would switch Kutaragi and Miyamoto around

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

This list is full of fail, and I say it as one heck of a Sony fanboy.

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Clearly created by a Sony fanboy. Shigeru Miyamoto saved the gaming industry after the crash in 1983, invented the most recognized fictional character (A previous world wide survey found Mario is more recognizable than Mickey Mouse), created several games that often appear in top 100 game surveys. "Super Mario World", "Super Mario Galaxy", "Super Mario Brothers", "The Legend of Zelda", "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" and "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess", created the best series ever according to voters on Game Faqs "The Legend of Zelda" and he is only ranked number 2.
Did you get this from SonyFanboy.com?

Oh and Rol, forget about creating the Gameboy brand, it's more like creating handheld gaming market.

This list fails for lack of Gunpei Yokoi: creator of the Game&Watch, Kid Icarus, Metroid, and most importantly of all the NES and Game Boy. The man very likely did more gaming than anyone on the list -yes, even Miyamoto- and then got tossed aside like an old rag in what is probably the greatest sin against gaming that Nintendo (or perhaps any gaming company) has ever committed.

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

This is complete fail as a top 10 list. How they put a bunch of essentially PR/Spokemen's there instead of people who actually did the stuff I can't imagine.

Ken as number 1 and "Thanks to Kutaragi’s diligence, Sony continues to be one of the most profitable and largest video game companies ever." That automatically screams useless.

And how can they miss Yokoi? What about Iwata or Hiroshi Yamauchi? And seriously nobody besides Peter Moore was important from Sega?

Useless
