Wait, what has Sony ever done in the console business that's innovative? If you want to include corporate strategy and the way they partner with third party developers, I guess you might be able to include that. They probably deserve a little credit for the DualShock as well, even though Nintendo brought back analog sticks and offered rumble before Sony.

MS deserves just as much credit for integrating online play with voice chat in consoles, bringing DLC and online game stores to consoles, and integrating HDDs into every console.

This thread is fanboy fail. Sony hasn't exactly been pioneering anything in this industry lately, either. In fact, one could argue that until the Wii released, consoles had nearly sat still for an entire decade thanks to Sony. At least MS threw in a curveball with the addition of online access and voice chat, the only real console "innovation" from 1995 to 2006.

This thread is fanboy fail?

first off, yeah i know you're a mod and thanks for insulting me. of course if i insult you, i get banned right? maybe that's reason for you to be more mature as a mod and not insult anyone.

here's what Sony did:

first console to push 3d polygon gaming into the mainstream(which had a huge part in FFVII and MGS' being much more immersive and cinematic than their earlier games). Sony stepped up and that's why they gained the Final Fantasy series. Also Kojima himself said in an interview on the Metal Gear saga Vol. 1 DVD that the PS1's capabilities is what pushed him to make Metal Gear Solid. If not for Sony, how much longer would we have been stuck with 2d gaming?

first console to put in a nongaming feature(CD player in PS1, DVD in PS2). CD and DVD players were not cheap at the time these consoles launched. And a Bluray player costs as much as a PS3.

Dreamcast was the first console to do online, not MS, check your facts dude. 

I didn't say MS was the first to integrate online. Reading comprehension FTL.

3D gaming? Is that the best you can do? That's a technical advancement, nothing more. The entire industry was moving in that direction and Sony made a wise move to push it over SEGA's strategy of 2D with the Saturn. Smart, but not exactly "innovation".

DVD players were under $150 when the PS2 released and over 14 million DVD players had sold in the US before a single PS2 was sold. CD player? Are you joking? Most people I knew had CD players in their car in 1995.

So sad... You can't really come up with anything of note, can you? Yet you still found it necessary to dedicate an entire thread to MS-bashing...
