I don't think the PS1 or PS2 generation would have been as good if Nintendo or Microsoft would have led it by the reins. Everyone, particularly third party developers and gamers looking for variety, benefited. Some of you may not want to admit it, but the Sony gaming division is open to supporting more innovative ideas than Microsoft or Nintendo (content wise compared to Nintendo since they have changed the actual gameplay methods with the Wii mote). Last generation, Microsoft did FPS's right on the XBox and a few other things, GameCube really didn't shine anywhere except for Smash Brothers and Pikmin, and the PS2 did just about everything except FPS's right. In my opinion, Sony is the best thing that ever happened to gaming. |
I don't really follow your logic here ... Sony hasn't really done anything that wouldn't have happened on its own accord.
Had Sony never released the Playstation there would have (likely) been a massive third party shift towards the Saturn and the Saturn would have had Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil released on it which would have lead to its dominance.
There is not one thing you can point to and say "Sony brought this to gaming and it wouldn't have come without them"
