I heard from someone that Nintendo was the first company to make use of a backlight for LCD screens (GBA SP).
Of course I never really looked it up, but if it's true then I think it deserves mention.

Go figure, Microsoft doesn't have a single vote at the time of this writing.

But as expected, Nintendo by a long shot with sony in second place. Sounds right.

I won't quantify my opinion with a list, but in my view that honor jointly goes to grand daddy Nintendo and the big bad wolf that is Sony - albeit for different reasons.

Thats kind of unfair Sony and Nintendo are doing it for a much longer time. I mean no doubt was Nintendo the most important gaming company. But Microsoft revolutionized online and this should not be downplayed.

I edited before you quoted, but he did ask which one contributed the most. In my view, while Microsoft did bring value, they did not contribute the most. I'm not suggesting their contribution was insignificant though.

I know I know, and I know you are a stupid fanboy. I just wanted to remind people

But the most significant contribution has Nintendo made

I prefer enthusiast of the Sony persuasion. ;) Microsoft has done, by far, the most to drive the online realm. That's one of the main reasons why I am disappointed with Nintendo. I love online gaming, and it is becuse of them Sony has pushed their service to higher heights. That cannot be discounted. Plus, they did start off well with indies and things like XBL arcade were great additions.

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

While not innovating Sony did bring gaming to the mainstream. They did a lot for gaming with that. Having said that I vote for Nintendo.
