Plus consoles that can be used to bludgeon people to death. Well, not the 360. That'll break faster than a Kia in a Destruction Derby. |
Which series did MS introduce? Halo, for example, was anticipated long before MS announced it would make an Xbox. Moving to hard drives and online play were inevitabilities -- crossovers from the PC gaming arena. People liked online play, and companies liked the idea of being able to someday deliver content (including games) to consoles. The latter is really the main reason for hard drives.
That's similar to suggesting that MS brought us HD graphics across the board. Well, not really -- HD graphics were an inevitability. MS was just the first to the market.
