If you want to talk breakthrough, I will go to the Arcade period of videogames, from Pong through the Fighting Games (Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat) up until polygons and the Playstation hit. This time period represented the MOST breakthroughs in videogames. The moment arcades died off, that is when we settled into now. The Neogeo was likely the final curtain call for arcade games.
We are talking sheer number of breakthroughs here.
