Thank you for providing facts, MSFT and XBOX get to much blind hate. Honestly MSFT and Nintendo are the main companies moving the gaming industry forward.

Yes...Microsoft has only brought online to the console industry. Nintendo created the base fanbase and Sony increased the industry size two fold upon arrival turning gaming devices into multimedia and expanding the way people view gaming. Microsoft only joined the gaming industry because Microsoft was pushing gaming into a realm that threatened PC's. When you look at everything that matters MS is only stepping in as the pepsi to Sony's coke. If you look at the 360's sales last gen, they really on stepped on Sony's PS2 marketshare and divided it with them. If they truly progressed the industry we would have larger numbers because of it. Gaming was heading online anyway and it was a matter of time once gaming became fully computerized. Sega had been trying to achieve this for years.

the NES (nes modem), SNES (xband, Satellaview), Megadrive (xband, genesis modem), Dreamcast (default dialup, optional LAN), Saturn (sega net adapter) and PS2 (network adapter / pcmcia) all had online play in one form or another, long before the original Xbox.

Yep. They all knew it was coming. Game renting was already going on before Playstation Now as well. Sega did it first.
