Couldn't you argue that the SNES had online first?

That was more of a satellite...thingy. I don't think it connected anywhere else. Could be wrong, though, seeing as how it never left Japan.

XBAND.  It was released in the US for SNES and Genesis.  I still have mine.  I played Street Fighter (don't remember which one), Mortal Kombat 3, Super Mario Kart, and NBA Jam on it.  You plugged your phone line directly into the XBAND and hogged the phone all day so your family got pissed, same as modem-to-modem Doom 2.  Great times.

That was a third party solution, but nonetheles you are correct.

What noname2200 meant was the Satellaview which was only released in Japan. This thing was plugged into the bottom of the SNES (just like the 64DD into the N64) and could connect to a Nintendo server where you could download several games which were usually remakes of or add-ons to popular Nintendo titles such as the original Zelda, F-Zero and Excitebike. No online play though.

 

So that takes away from the downloading for the 360 to get on the list. Well I guess it has nothing then.
