But microsft were also the... first to introduce social feature for gaming such as chat and cross game chat. first to introduce digital content and downloadable game on console. first to implement a true os on console. first to give a real support for indie dev (correct me if i'm wrong here). they were the first to offer free online service(xbox live silver) (sony were the first to offer free online multiplayer gaming). First to offer lan connection for multiplayer on home console. |
I believe the Philips CD-i had a very early form of OS.
You should check out the Sony PS Net Yaroze. Was very limited but completely open to all hobbyists.
The Xbox wasn't the the first to offer LAN though it may have been the first with Ethernet built in. PS2 could LAN with a swtich, hub or router for instance.
