I think people aren't giving Microsoft enough credit.
Direct X has helped guide graphics as we know it today. It worked with all the graphics chip companies (Even mobile!) to build the API and set standards which has flowed and guided various graphics architectures that has ended up in pretty much every device we use today from Console to Mobile to High-end PC.
Game engines are also built directly for those technologies as well.
In terms of graphics technology it could be argued that no other company has been as influential overall... And thus it's partly thanks to Microsoft that Sony and Nintendo has the graphics technology that it has in their respective consoles today.
