I actually in this case don't think it was good for consumers. Sony Vs. Nintendo would've still had ample competetion.
A lot of the things MS brought the game industry, Sony was doing already or would've gotten to do eventually any how (ie: an online network service).
But the underappreciation of the GameCube, which was a pretty darn good system IMO, led Nintendo to chase the casual dragon, the selling of Rare to MS was bad for the company and fans of their games IMO, etc. etc.
I just don't see other than things like XBox Live and Halo what MS really brought to the industry other than making it very hard for Nintendo (to MS' credit) to get any of the core gaming market.
