Hardware is cool, but sony is more about bussiness decisions: First to offer a service where complete games where avaible a few months after launch First to put console games in mobile phones First to offer cross play in consoles First to offer cross buy in consoles First to offer console games in a rent service First to let another online store sell their digital products First to offer a digital store for their consoles that could be acessed anywhere Those are the real innovation that sony brougth, and where they really suceeded. Innovation== popularity |
Dreamcast let PC gamers play against console gamers. Remember Quake III?
Also, Xbox 360's Marketplace came before PSN and allowed purchases over Xbox.com.
Some of those, I guess are innovative but seem to be scraping the bucket. Somebody should make one of these threads for Nintendo and Microsoft. We'll probably find that most of the things we think they did first were copied from someone else as well unless we add "First console to..." as a prefix.
