The Dreamcast may have been the first to have a rudimental online structure, but there's no denying that MS revolutionized console online gaming with XBox Live. Making it easy to use, practical, and made it a key element of the console itself. It made it an infrastructure that has now been mimicked by the other consoles. There was no such thing on the Dreamcast.

There was actually and MS modeled itself after SEGANET. From the downloadable games to the DLC. They just improved greatly on it. Everything about Xbox was modeled after Dreamcast. It was nearly BC with all DC games. It nearly had a VMU. They used DC's in focus groups making the thing and took many notes from SEGANET.

The Dreamcast ran Windows CE. Which helped greatly to port Dreamcast games to it. Because both had a similar hardware setup and Sega was using MS software to drive the Dreamcast. -___-

But that's beside the point. Being first to incorporate something doesn't make it a revolution. MS revolutionized console online gaming. Sega may have paved the way for whoever, but MS is the one that did it right, and made the others take notice.
