Biggest step forward for gaming in the 21st century

Eh, we were saving plenty on PS1/Saturn/N64 and several SNES games, however. The HDD was a big deal for consoles. Even of others planned to add an HDD but could not due to a shortage of cash (Hi SEGA) Xbox pushed it forward. While US PS2's had the option. Japanese first-run PS2's did not. the HDD was an external box. So Xbox having an HDD set the standard for future generations.
