1: NES - Shaped the console industry as we know it, revitalized and gre the two biggest console markets, was the beginning of many of the most iconic and celebrated franchises ever.

2: Magnavox Odyssey - the one that started it all

3: Xbox - initiated the online gaming revolution in the console space. Love it or hate it, the Xbox shaped a massive part of the current industry.

Kinda surprised you're putting Xbox ahead of Xbox 360 there. Sure Xbox had online gaming before 360 (as did other consoles), but 360 is the one that made it really take off.

The 360 was the mkre successful one, but it was Halo 2 and the CoDs on Xbox that started it, with pro tournaments showing up and such.  I mean, despite losing the console war by a huge margin, it took a novelty idea in console gaming and made it into a standard come Gen 7.
