Nintendo was the OG major console house and managed to keep the scene alive through some tough times.
Microsoft was the online pioneer and also has kept Sony on their toes so as to not get too complacent.
Sony showed that it was possible to make it in the console business as a newcomer. They truly opened up that very exclusive game and Microsoft followed as well. There were also others that did not make it very long, it is not an easy breakthrough to make.
They also made console gaming attractive to people like me, who didn't care for Nintendo games but weren't PC gamers either.
