Nintendo has actually done more for the industry as a whole in the past few years than anyone. In terms of importance, even recent importance, it's hard to top what they've done.

I like Valve games a lot, but they're one of the most overrated game developers due to their particularly rabid and obnoxious fans.

Nintendo has actually done more for the industry as a whole in the past few years than anyone. In terms of importance, even recent importance, it's hard to top what they've done. Nintendo brought in a big casual market and made motion gaming popular. That's all they have done in the last few years, and at best you could call it minorly positive, at worse negative. Their recent contributions pale in comparison to Valve. -- Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever! ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's no arguing their influence with Steam, but they might be coming back down to Earth now (as opposed to a couple years ago when they were pretty much infallible). The Half-Life series has been in a four-year hush (this might be a longer spell of silence than the one between HL1 and 2), and some fans didn't feel that Portal 2 was worth $60. Making TF2 free was a bold and awesome move, however. Even a lesser Valve is the most fan-friendly developer out there, it seems.

They expanded the gaming market, generated billions of dollars in revenue for the industry (at one point, they accounted for half of it), produced most of the growth from this generation, sold unprecedented levels of software, created a new segment of games, and changed up the way people interact with games, which in turn influenced other ideas along those lines like Kinect. I'm not a big Nintendo fan, but without them, the industry would have been in much worse shape this gen than it has been a long time. You don't even have to go into the quality of their games -- which, from their own developers, has been an improvement from 7-8 years ago.

While Valve brought about the revolution of digital distribution, which has done just as much for the industry, while opening the floodgates for a LOT of new developers and making indie development into a potentially serious market, and at the same time have worked hard to support those indie developers and bring a LOT of new life into the market - Something that has since spilled over from Steam onto Xbox Live, Wii and PSN Stores, and various smart phones. -- Fresh from my first justified ban.

I'm not discrediting what Valve accomplished with Steam. I think they are one of the most important companies in the industry -- and I'm not a big fan of theirs, either! What I'm saying here is that in terms of overall importance, in multiple markets around the world, in both the console and portable space, Nintendo has been at the top for a few years now. I suppose you can dispute it, but Valve certainly isn't the uncontested number one, in any case. As far as PC goes, absolutely. Outside of that, it gets much trickier.
