In gaming I feel they raised the bar much like other companies have. But I can't say they have done anything incredibly unique. |
They got camera motion controls down before anyone. They had the first proper multimedia gaming console which kept ahead of the curve and gained popularity whilst the dreamcast couldnt catch up, Nintendo failed to follow and Microsoft played it smart by using DVDs after. They brought Blu Ray and because of that Microsoft tried to play rebel to the trend setter and tried to help HD DVD but alas...it was a lost cause. They taught the world that videogames were potent electronics and not just toys for children like Nintendo led the world to believe. Without Sony in the gaming industry there would be no Microsoft, there would be no threat of companies leaving PC gaming and they are responsible for the death of Arcades and the boom of home consoles. Sony is the reason people can afford a Blu Ray player at an affordable price just like DVD's. They dont just affect the gaming world they affect the world of electronics.They might not have been the first, but then no one in the gaming industry has either. Nintendo has been sued for patents quite a few time and so has Sony.
