They've all done their part

Atari - The first "successful" gaming console

Nintendo (NES) - 64 million sales brought gaming to the mainstream

PS1 - First successful CD based console. 100 million sales really expanded the market. And brought in a more "adult" market

PS2 - 125-140 million sales or so and counting. Its really expanded the market. Also its the first to be a "home entertainment system" since you can watch DVD's and listen to CD's.

Xbox - Although Sony had SOCOM, Halo 2 really made online gaming fun. Live is the best online network right now.

Wii - Expanding to a more casual audience. Very family friendly and still fun for young gamers.
