The first half is the PS2 and the second half is Nintendo

and BTW what the hell did Sega do in the last 9 years aside from droping the Dreamcast and Milking Sonic besides some good games (Total War comes to mind which is great) but by far not a MAJOR contribution

Online gaming. I hear it's popular nowadays.

 

 

hmmm PCs had online and I know you know that but I'm sorry in no way shape or form Online gaming was mianstreem on consoles before Xbox Live and HALO 2 for the most part and when it came to this gen it really took off that's why FPS sales are sky rocketing this gen 

PC's having online is a great contribution to PC's. A console maker bringing it over to consoles and getting it to work I feel deserves it's own achievement notice.

Regarding whether Microsoft deserves the credit for popularizing online gaming or Sega deserves it for carving out the blueprint for Xbox Live's future is merely a difference of opinion. It's similiar to those that think Wolfenstein 3D deserves the FPS credit for creating it or Doom does for popularizing it. Neither is really right or wrong, just a different way of looking at things.

Not trying to further the dissection any longer because I agree with some of what you said but I still think that the online feature in the DC is not that big to be a contribution or a well noted achievement because like I said if non of MS, Sony or Nintendo did it after the DC nobody would even notice tbh

 

Any way I guess in the end it all comes down to the way you see it I would rather give the credit to MS for that but hey that’s just me
