Yes.
Nintendo has been the the leading innovator with consoles.
Her are just a few of the things they've brought into the mainstream:
The D pad
Analog sticks
Rumble
Motion Control
Wireless Controls
Touch controls
And, with help from software like mario and zelda, created 3d as we know it with the N64.
Also their success with the Wii has allowed many 3rd parties to stay afloat due to affordable development costs.
