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

or Atari created, etc.

No, because the industry as we know it was created with the introduction of the PS. As in games being a form of entertainment rather than a toy for kids.

That was not Sony's doing. Games like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Doom, etc were already starting to appear on SNES/Genisis/PC. Sony was just there at the right place and the right time and cannibalized on Sega and Nintendo's mistakes.
