So after we had discussions about "domination" we now argue "innovation". But I agree that most things were popularized by MS but at least we should say that they did so because they just did it right.
Xbox Live as a system wide online service that developers can rely on and which just works, for example. Or cumulative and differential patches (and I don't know why this doesn't work on Xbox One...). Or the combination of a wireless controller with rumble feature (which came to PS3 later).
And really guys, achievements on Atari?
Let's face it - tech is already "old" in general and there are not many things that can be "innovative" nowadays when it comes to console technology. In fact, I don't see anything "worth" being called innovative for years. Same applies to computers in general, for example the "cloud" buzzword. Outsorcing resources to servers on a network is older than many users here on the forum.
