Who has made the greatest contribution to games this decade and why?

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

 

 I agree with this. What becomes the more important influence long term is yet to be seen (i.e, will the PS2 or Wii have a more lasting impact). I suspect the answer is the Wii -- the Wii has certainly rocked the foundations of the industry harder than the PS2 -- but I can certainly imagine a future where the PS2-style approach resumes domination.
