Please. Is that all you can come up with? Online gaming has existed in a big way for decades. I'll give you the multiple sku's, but I think Apple did that before MS. |
In fairness, there's little Nintendo's done that's completely innovative by itself either: the innovative part comes in how they applied, say, touch screens or gyrometers to gaming, or how they tried to make things like a .3 megapixel camera fun. Arguably, then, you have to give Microsoft credit for the multiple SKUs (although personally I see that as a step downwards, but that's tangential). And they applied the PC online model to consoles, which was a first.
Credit where credit's due, and all that. Although I agree that their games, themselves, tend to be more evolutionary than revolutionary. Still, that demonstrably appeals to many people, so more power to them, I guess.
