I cannot decide. To me innovation means the consumer is doing something different than they could do before as they interact with a game. More graphics, faster load times, open worlds, none of these are innovations to me. They are cool features, for sure, but not innovations.
Wii mote was pure innovation. We never played games with motion controls by and large before that.
Wii U was innovation. Now I can play my device most places in my house? And my controller can act as a map in Arkham City and Xenoblade X? That was fantastic.
Switch is innovation. I can literally played it anywhere and in three different ways (docked, portable, or with the flap open and joycons detached.
DS was innovation. Two screens!
3DS was innovation. I can literally SEE 3d without glasses. We forget how crazy that was!
All of these devices were gamechangers. Sony and Microsoft innovated after watching Nintendo do it first, but they have mostly stuck with adding new features rather than making industry changing moves.
