Microsoft for making an online community essential to gaming, it's a whole new dimension.

The Wii and DS were also quite innovative. Motion controls and Dual Screens have added some interesting gameplay to some games.

Sony just played it safe and done what they know. While waiting to see what the competition does first and then improving on it

Like Backwards compatibility, console game streaming, console twitch streaming,  dvd/blue ray play back, console wifi, symetrical control sticks, free to play MMOs on console...

Most of that is true but they are mainly minor innovations. Also, the Wii just got there first with console wifi (at least in Europe anyway). Shame only Nintendo kept backward compatibility though 

No. You don't get to be subjective with this one. You can't call the Sony's innovations minor and praise Nintendo for being "revolutionary".  As a primarily hardware based company, most of their innovations are hardware focused,  and every single one of those have introduced many standards to the industry.

The idea of Sony playing it safe is laughable seeing how the company was nearly destroyed by the risks invovled with the PS3, the only console that significantly upgraded (new hardware) and had backwards compatibility at the time. The Cell was one of the most innovative flops of the decade.

Just because the Wii was successful doesn't mean it was very innovative, all it did was motion controls and ps2 esque backwards compatibility.
