A World Without Nintendo

What would life on Earth be like without Nintendo? Do you think the video game industry would be the same?

The world would crumble and fall unto darkness.

We would have nothing to play but First Person Shooters.

Absolutely not! How on earth could it be?

It's hard to speculate on things like this because who's to say that if Nintendo didn't do something, someone else wouldn't have? For example, Nintendo brought the market back from the 80s video game crash, but perhaps a company like Sega would have stepping into place.

There's also the fact that Nintendo essentially brought Sony into the gaming world by seeking the company's aid and then backpedaling, triggering Sony to use the SNES CD components as a new console (the PlayStation One). Who's to say Sony might have just one day seen the gaming world as a place ripe for business? There's a lot of speculation and assumptions involved with this sort of thing.

Anyway, I do know my avatar and name combination wouldn't exist under any circumstance without Nintendo.
