MS set the standard a lot of features consoles use today.  Broadband connection, built in hdd, could output a 1080p HD signal, Xbox live set an industry standard for online gaming, party chat, achievements, cloud saves. So if you want to keep projecting ignorance along with everyone that agreed with you, then go for it. 

What are your sources for these claims?  Any source I find says Dreamcast did internet first. And Xbox/PS3 Did 1080p with in a few weeks.  PS3 came out a year later but started with it, where as Xbox only got a patch for it a couple weeks before.

I found an article about PS3 cloud saves coming out in March where as I can only find an article about Xbox 360 in June. Both 2011.

They were interesting to research though.

If you mean a built-in modem then yes DC was first and you could buy a broadband modem. . SEGANET/Dreamarena predate XBL. In fact a lot of what original Xbox is, was because of Dreamcast. MS used Dreamcasts in focus groups. Considered also using a VMU and being BC with DC games. SEGA had a prototype built of Saturn called the Pluto which had a modem built in but never released.  Tho many consoles have supported online and DLC since the 80s even Famicom,SNES,Genesis,N64 and such. Dreamcast also had online chat with online games esp stuff like NFL 2k or Phantasy Star Online.  360 could not do 1080P until later models because it didn't have HDMI so could only go up to 1080i with components.
