Not at all - though I didn't mention them specifically, they're definitely one of the ones who survived both the '83 / '84 crash and the PlayStation era. With respect to Nintendo, they're an interesting company in that they were involved in both the console and arcade markets pre- and post-crash - and survived in both for several years past the '83 / '84 timeframe. In some ways, not having the NES on the market outside of Japan until after the console crash probably helped (with the NES, they had the right product at the right time in the right market conditions), and were able to leverage high-quality ports of both their own arcade and third-party games (in addition to original titles) to make it attractive. One thing I will mention for clarity's sake: my opinion is that there were really two crashes around the 1983 timeframe. One involved consoles and home computers; the other involved arcades. The two tend to get blurred into being considered the same crash, which I feel is a mistake - though there were some interrelationships between both the console and arcade crashes, the reasons behind each were distinct enough that they aren't really one and the same. That said, the PlayStation era was where arcades began their serious nosedive - Nintendo, Sony, and Sega had basically brought the arcade into the home at that point, and the relevance of coin-op video games began to diminish. This trend was only to continue as features like online play and ranking (which never made a huge impact in arcades) became common.
