Wouldn't be more fitting to say Nintendo's the one who started it, and Playstation's the one who changed it?

No because gaming as an industry form preceeds Nintendo.

When I say PlayStation created the industry, I mean that PS created the version of the industry that we have now. It's no longer Nintendo's industry and every generation from the PS1 including handhelds prove that. Nintendo dominates with Handhelds, Nintendo won with the Wii. In both cases, Nintendo address a new untapped part of the industry i.e the non-gamers like Grandma and Joe's Mom. The 64, GC, and Wii U all have had the smallest portion of marketshare, even worse considering the Wii U released a year before its competitors. The standard market is incompatible with Nintendo.

Xbox modified it even further by introducing Online, something PS could do with little difficulty, as an electronics company, but something much more daunting for Nintendo.

This is why Nintendo's 3rd party support is declining while X1 has remained intact despite the Wii U having larger marketshare at the moment. 


So... Sony invented the industry that we have now... except for the parts they don't do well in... because those parts don't count.
