Just a quick idea that's been knocking about in that crazy brain of mine and I was wondering what your thoughts on it were.
We all know the conventional process that consoles evolved in such as from 8 bit to 16 bit then 16 to 32bit and so on. Well as you all know Nintendo got ahead of themselves and skipped the 32bit consoles and went straight from 16 to 64 while Sony and Sega were knocking about with their 32bit counterparts.
Well I was thinking if Nintendo hadn't made the jump missing the 32bit gap would these 'next generation' consoles now be on the 64bit mark? Would we be playing in the wondrous 128bit worlds that we are now?
It was just a thought so what do you think are we to thank Nintendo for that?

P.S. I'm not saying that Nintendo or anyone else are great or anything, i'm simply asking a question.
