It's been a steady progression of higher-powered hardware with few actual changes made beyond that point. Absolutely nothing innovative going on there, just a refinement of what was already there. As far as software goes, MS has Xbox Live in their corner, a truly innovative system for consoles and one that is being copied by both Nintendo and Sony in one way, shape, or form. In Sony's corner, you have a new way of doing business. One that involves utmost cooperation with developers and initially, they catered to these developers with an easy-to-use system. They later scrapped that idea and that's too bad. Really, neither company has innovated much but when it actually comes to the console itself, I don't see how MS can't be considered a little more innovative with XBL, something that truly changed the way the entire industry plays games, works, and develops for consoles. And they did it in half the time. |
And they did it when the time was right.
