That was a legitimate question, not an argumentive "shove it in your face" one. I really don't know when Steam started their cross game achievements system. If they came first then I'll give them all the credit in the world. If it came after MS's then I won't. @shio-If you ever feel like giving my reply to you a legitimate response that addresses the points I made, I'll be happy to shoot the shit with you over it. However, that response you gave me was worthless and frankly uncharacteristic of you. You aren't always correct but at least you give an effort. That was merely laziness.

Steam came after, I know that much. I answered your question with my own question of when which I believe it was 2007 as to when but I think its when Steamworks was released. Not 100% sure.
All I know is while Microsoft was the first to unify I remember games that go back before the PS1 that had "achievements" or a reward system that unlocked ribbons, badges, or some form of "you did this or that." No matter how you look at it, achievements and trophies are nothing more than an old fashion reward system pulled out of games.
