Last time I checked Sony didn't develope Parapa The Rapper or Unjammer Jammy... and there was Guitar Freak/Drumania/Beatmania/DDR series from Konami for music games. I will take it that you are joking when you say Crash Bandicoot is modern 3D platform foundations.
I can respect your opinion that you think Sony has the most originality but I don't think you provided good examples on why Sony is so innovative.

Sony published those titles. In other words, they took a chance that those "artsy" games would succeed, and denying that Amplitude is the forerunner of the majority of the modern music genre is downright outrageous, again published by Sony, and Sony alone. DDR is dance, not music. Crash Bandicoot was demostrated on the PS1 before the console even hit store shelves -- you don't think its a forerunner of the modern incarnation of 3D platformers, eh? Once you step out of being in denial, you might have the chance to realize that Sony, as both a publisher and developer, is incredibly innovative -- much moreso than its modern day competition, let alone in the past.
How about we turn the tables some. Name some MS and Nintendo innovative games (not control schemes) of the past 5 years, that didn't use an obvious source of inspiration. Name some innovative MS games *ever*, or see if you can name some Nintendo innovators from later than 1990.

You mean besides like... Mario 64? Or Perfect Dark? Which DEFINED the genres.
|
Mario 64 doesn't predate Crash, bud. It made innovations, but not any moreso than Crash did. And Perfect Dark? Exactly what genre do you think Perfect Dark defined?
|
Uhhhhh.... Mario 64 came out in June, Crash in August? Did you get your months mixed up? Also I'd define that as the FPS on a console. If you wanna count that.
