Sony invented portable music players... Was almost completely responsible for the invention of the VCR, CD, VCD, DVD, and Blu-Ray...
Sony also created the first major MMO success story when it released EverQuest - A game that has influenced every other hit MMO that has followed. (WoW's two lead developers have gone on record saying that they met in EverQuest and spent the majority of WoW's development cycle trying to figure out how they could , "Beat the perfect game - at its own game"...Eventually they discovered that more people would play if the game was easier.)
I could go on about what else they are responsible for, but that would be a VERY long list! I will just say that they are almost single-handedly responsible for the world of entertainment as it is today.
...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.
"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"
