All three major console developers are pushing innovative or previously underutilized ideas.
Microsoft is pushing AR and cloud computing.
Sony is pushing game streaming (even if you don't like PS Now), VR, and share play.
Nintendo is is pushing dual-screen gaming and asymmetric multiplayer.
Note that not all of these ideas are completely new, what with dual screen gaming beginning with DS, and AR and VR existing for years, but it is major push from these companies that brings these ideas into the mainstream.
Maybe it's just me, but I do wish NoA would lose its sore loser attitude. It really doesn't seem like good PR.
