| JPL78 said: I thought the Sega Saturn's analog was the first one in console gaming. You know, they launched Nights with it's own analog controller. Then again checking wikipedia it says Nights was up against Mario 64 in sales that year... I just kinda remember playing Nights first and I rented a N64 the week it came out. Okay, since when does "mainstream" mean "most important console?" If we are going with important innovation then wouldn't X-box Live and use of a hard drive be big steps? I understand other systems went online first but the original X-box was the first to start succeeding at it and the first to have a hard drive. We could bring up Live related aspects like downloadable content and voice chat on a console. Either way I can't help but feel like this list and subsequent posts become only about what systems the posters like most personally. |
I thought this list was about consoles that influenced the industry and helped it grow, not who was more innovative.
Well, I guess you could argue that the innovation leads to expansion.. I dunno
