Halo - I think COD Modern Warfare did a lot more for FPS than Halo did. Yeah, but Halo paved the way for CoD. Before Halo, FPS as a genre just didn't exist on consoles, Rare had attempted it with 007 and Perfect Dark and that was pretty much it.
WRPGs - The only thing I can think of here is getting Mass Effect as an exclusive. I think 3rd party companies did much more for WRPGs than Microsoft by far. Them becoming bigger than JRPGs too is because of 3rd parties (many Japanese companies forgetting how to make good games) I think he's referring to the fact that WRPG's were mainly a PC only genre before developers started putting them on Xbox. For instance Elder Scrolls, Xbox was the first console to get an Elder Scrolls game. The original Xbox also got KOTOR and Fable, which PS2 didn't get. Xbox 360 was also the first console to get a Witcher game and a Mass Effect game.
Other stuff - Kinect not really an innovation, PS Eyetoy? I don't think PS Eye Toy can even be compared to Kinect. Kinect was definitely an innovation in many ways, it didn't really do much good for gaming itself, but it's voice commands are definitely innovative for turning on your system and navigating to aps like Netflix. |

I remember playing Medal of Honour on PS1 and Timesplitters on PS2 before Halo released. There were definitely some very good FPS games before Halo.
Yeah, that's true about the WRPGs and I completely forgot about Fable

Right,we spent hours playing those games and Turok and Golden Eye on N64.Half Life and Doom were huge to on PC.Also WRPGs were already coming to PS2 with Baldor's Gate and games like Elder Scrolls and Fallout came to PS3 at the same time anyway.That was the generation and not MS.Sega was the first to bring online to console as far as multiplayer.
