Super Nintendo was just the continuation of the nes. and gamcube samething both were just traditional home consoles. They really changed the idea of traditional console after the GameCube which was a massive flop.  I suspect switch 2 will be a continuation of Switch of course it will be refined and add some new console features but all consoles do that, no company  is taking a bold new direction when something is working.

Their followups to successes had their own innovations; the SNES controller had the shoulder buttons and pushed into early 3D with Mode 7 and the FX chip, the N64 was built around the analog stick, DS introduced dual screens, 3DS was built around autostereoscopic 3D.

But most consoles coming out have cool innovative features. Dual analogs, and duel sense. Emotion engine, 360 controller triggers, I'm sure there is more but that just continuation with innovative featured not some bold new direction

The PS2 was the first console to feature USB ports, which can be used to attach peripherals like the aforementioned Eye Toy, Taiko drum controllers, microphones for games like Rock Band, and more.
