Don't try to spin it becuase your friend got served. The OP mentions things directly to XBOX and MSFT, he is correct. Acheivements-check, internal HD-check, XBL-check (unless you are saying sega had XBOX live), Halo-check it evolved Goldeneye to worldwide multiplayer gaming on consoles, WRPG's subjective but Mass Effect, Star Wars.... did start getting ported over from PC first. The OP also could have mentioned RTS games on console. All in all stop the downplay, it's sad watching you get so upset MSFT has contributed to gaming.

As Tachi already mentioned:

- Atari already had achivements with Activision

- X68000 was the first to have internal storage. Hard drives weren't a feasable option back in the day.

- Sega Dreamcast introduced the idea first. XBL popularized the idea.

- Halo was developed by Bungie. The credit, therefore, goes to Bungie. Also, games like Quake existed long before Halo.


Once again, you are saying the computer printer wasn't innovative cause of the Gutenberg printing press. And it's not even that. Achievements are totally different than the Atari stuff. And the X68000 isn't even a console nor did it use a hard drive. Wikipedia even emphasizes that it has no hard drive!

It seems more about hating on Microsoft than anything else.... Sony is known as "innovative" even though they have innovated pretty much nothing. Although the PS2 was the greatest console of all time, it was extremely anti-innovative.
