Though the twinge really began when Halo started to become popular.

Probably when Minecraft got big.

I feel like it really took off during the 360/PS3 era. Games like Halo, GTA and Minecraft pulled in people who otherwise wouldn't normally be into gaming.

FFXIII was the death knell of jrpgs for me.

Gaming in general? Nintendo has been mainstream from the beginning. Hell, arcades used to be big back in the 70's and 80's, before the move towards home consoles.

Gaming's been pretty mainstream for longer than most people here, myself included, have been alive

I'd say the NES was probably a huge turning point for console gaming. I know game systems like Atari pioneered home consoles, but I view the NES as when it really took off and wasn't just looked at as something only children and losers do. Arcade culture in the 80s was pretty huge as well.
