While I don't agree with the comments and reasoning behind the list...I believe the author got the list right.
The Odyssey is the grand daddy of home consoles.
The 2600 made home video games a household item and also was responsible for the great video game crash of 1983.
The NES revived the video game market, brought numerous new accessories to the world of games, and layed the ground work future generations.
The PS1 introduced memory cards and made disc based media standard in consoles.
The 360 was the first console released with standard wireless controllers, created achievements, and set the standard for online console gaming.
The Wii's inclusion of motion controls and the virtual console.
The PS2 is a fantastic system, but it didn't bring anything revolutionary to the table. Increased disc capacity is part of the evolution of gaming. Every generation has had larger game sizes whether it was through bigger rom chips or a new disc media.
The PS3 is the first console to include blue tooth for the connection of devices. The built in Wifi was also a nice bonus (The Wii did include this as well, and was available for the 360 as an add on). But I don't believe it has really changed gaming in a major way.
The only system I feel an argument could possibly be made for is the N64. The analog stick, 3D games, and the rumble pack are all common place today.
