Well through shitty sarcasm, yeah that was my point.
I am aware that SMB alone wasn't really the rebirth of the whole market don't get me wrong, But comparisons can still be made when it comes to NES, that console is still a pretty huge inspiration amongst developers. So I am kind of finding it hard to believe it could be forgotten just like that.
It's kind of hard to say people forget that NES never existed, maybe for newer gamers but veterans and developers alike know damn well it existed. I mean, would have god of war even been made if there wasn't for one of the games on that console alone? think about it.
EDIT: I also want to add that there's a lot to owe to nintendo, even if it wasn't for them we could still strive off of DOS/PC games, but I doubt the market would be as in great of shape if it wasn't for them.
