Influential? In what way? Playstation 1 was influential, the iPod was influential. I don't think the playstation 4 is remotely influential.

beats by dre!?  Silly list. 

did you read the list?  it's broken out by years.  ps1 won 1995.  ps2 won 2002.  xbox 360 won 2005.  ps4 wins 2013.

Yes. I agree with ps1, ps2, 360. They brought something new. 

Ps4 does nothing new or groundbreaking IMO. 

What exactly did the ps2 do that was "new or groundbreaking"? All it did was dominate the market. Influential can mean many things.

it was the first system that could play movies.  Sony was doing the "take over the living room" thing long before 360 started doing Netflix.  CD playback with PS1 and DVD playback with PS2 were HUGE multimedia breakthroughs.  I find it funny that people like to gloss over that when discussing innovation or influence yet they are so quick to bring it up as a primary PS1 and 2 sales reason.  Sorry but it has to be one or the other people can't just take both of the negative views.  Not saying you've said this just in general.
