Ok so this is basically a thread for who you think has contributed most to the video games industry in its fairly expansive history. For me its gotta be:
Anyway guys, so who do you think has contributed the most and why?
- Nintendo - Helped develop and popularise the industry in its earlier stages and has now expanded it to a new audience
- SEGA - Like Nintendo it helped to get Videos games to where they are now with platforming legends like Sonic.
- Rareware - Been in a bit of a decline recently but in its day it created classics with practically every game it released. It single handedly defined several different Genres such as FPS.

Nintendo, without them we wouldnt be here today playing our 360's and PS3's. Did anyone hear of the video game market crash with the Atari 5200, yeah the NES solved that problem with the genius marketing at Nintendo. Nintendo saved the gaming market and will always be the most instrumental company in gaming just for that.

The first consoles If they wernt made I doubt we would have these ones today

I'd disagree, with the diversity of the early consoles and all the innovation that went into them, I don't think any of them had any real impact on the development of any of the others. The pong machines, the magnavox odyssey (sp?) and the Atari 2600 (as the only ones I can remember off the top of my head) all used completely different control systems, had different aims of the games and stuff like that, even if one of those companies did look at the other and thought "hey, thats a neat idea" they sure as hell didn't act on it!
