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.

Sure. Point taken.
My original point still stands though that MS need to innovate rather than copy to catch up. And it's in the games themselves where they fall behind in this respect. Hardware is only half of the equation.
