SEGA pushed SEGANET really hard. Every DC had a modem out of the box which was a first and the first console with an MMO in PSO. NFL2k you could play online. They pushed the hell out of it. The first time a console seriously pushed for online. Xbox from the API to the concept was really just a continuation and improved Dreamcast. XBL improved on it sure but XBL is no longer that great service it once was. Achievements are not a real contribution. It's a sticker. |
For me the early 360 was a stand out console, the blades system was a breath of fresh air, and afaic, kicked the ps3 xmb's ass, why they scrapped it and went with metro and progressively made it worse and worse over time i'll never know.
I used to enjoy browsing through xbox arcade looking at titles to try, now i avoid the xbox store like the fucking plauge.
Also, the "hdd included out of the box" thing someone else mentioned, given that it was an optional addon for the PS2, it wasn't an innovation, it was just a natural progression, and while people may argue that "but the ps2 hdd didnt come out until xbox had been announced" you cant hide the fact that it has a cavity space designed for hard drives by design, from launch, either.

TurboExpress and SEGA Nomad. Nomad esp as it was just literally a Genesis in the size of a Game Gear and took Genesis carts. It hooked up to the TV and had a port for a controller for 2 players. Nomads issue was it came out at the end of the 16-bit gen in 1995,3-hour batt life on 6 AAA's and cost 180 bucks in a time when a Game Boy was 130 bucks less. |
You're going to get some arbitrary reason why it doesn't count, just you watch.
