Don't you hate it when you know your right about something, but mob-mentality rules out?
It's nothing serious, I'm arguing about video games, on a comic book site. Mob mentality says that video games weren't popular until the 90s when PlayStation came out, because of course they and their friends didn't have a system until PS came out.
I'm throwing all these facts out there to support the fact that video games were popular in the 80s too; like SMB selling 40 million copies, Space Invaders causing a coin-shortage in Japan, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Mario all getting cartoons. Mario being revealed as more recognizable to American children than Mickey Mouse in national survey which caused headlines.
But no, none of that matters, because they and their friends didn't have a console until they got a PS!
