Where is Microsoft headed from here on out?

Funny thing is a lot of it was done on other consoles. Famicom had DLC. So did N64 and Dreamcast and DC had downloadable games. Broadband gaming? DC had a broadband adapter. Streaming video? Again Dreamcast had it with Dreameye. I could argue SNES Satelview was cloud games. You were playing a streaming game with the likes of BS Zelda. About everything he listed was a continuation of what has existed before just more advanced.  SEGA was 2nd to the big N and Nintendo is the most innovative console maker around.

Streaming video-- I meant Netflix

Cloud saving-as in you could store your saves in the cloud and download them later, even on a different device

But yeah, I guess Microsoft brought nothing new to gaming. But then, I could argue that, in some degree, nobody else (of the big three) did either.

You are very defensive for a guy who buys a new Xbox every week. Netflix already existed. Really dumb to give them credit for it, esp when they made you pay to watch a paid service.   BS Zelda saved your game. I mean hell Netflix streaming was just an evolution of a TV tuner found on every handheld gaming system. Game Gear TV Tuner, Turbo Express, Nomad, GBA and more. It's like when people get defensive over the Wii being a better but still, a knockoff of the Xavix Port or Game.Com being the first handheld with a touch screen.  Hey, we even had an HD Bomberman game in 1993! MMO's in the 1970s! In fact, one MMO from the 70s is still online.
