The only gen they haven't really innovated anything also turned out to be their most disappointing console; GC.

In all seriousness, I am glad you pointed that out. I'll also add that the controller was particularly counter-innovative as well, especially in the way it eliminated the diamond face-button configuration and instead replaced it with three odd buttons surrounding one big green button. It seems like something Atari would do. Not to mention the poorly designed mini-dPad and squishy/springy unresponsive shoulder triggers.
