I started with Nintendo back when and still play the classics, over and over. I read up on the history of the company and must say that they know what they are doing in business, especially when it is the business of games. If it weren't for that old NES, the game industry might have never picked up again after the Video Game Industry Crash of '83. To singlehandedly pick up a seemingly dead industry, not only that, but to cause such a dramatic increase in sales worldwide, that was a big risk but also a major sign of the quality they put out.
Sega also made good games, but as of recent, their games have become a bit stale. It seems when the Dreamcast died, so did the quality that Sega was known for up til that time. I think they just tried to advance the industry too quickly with the Dreamcast and that became their own undoing. It could have been much different had they made some different decisions, but, since they didn't they have become the same thing as Atari, a developer. Atari had the same fate as Sega 15 years prior, so why did Sega make the same mistakes?
For me, Nintendo is synonimous with gaming.
