Not for me. I'd actually say the 360 was the first to take that step in functionality. The infrastructure was so much more diverse than anything we'd seen previously; it felt like a living thing.
Alternatively, you could go further back and say the PS2 - the built in DVD player completely changed the landscape;, suddenly these big plastic boxes had multiple functionality, and that was huge. The PSX before that could play CDs, but that never really felt like a revelation in the same way. I'd still say the 360 was the final step into the realm of 'smart' consoles, but the PS2 definitely opened the door for it.
So for me the XBOne (still working on a preferable way of typing that thing..) is very much evolution, not revolution.
