The "hate" on Microsoft is your imagination. I and Tachikoma were merely correcting you on the use of the term, "innovation". And as stated already, hard drives weren't feasible back at the time. However, the gist was the same: internal memory.

True or false: Microsoft Xbox was the first console to feature hard drives.

True or false: Microsoft Xbox was the first console to feature internal memory.

Or how about this: Microsoft Xbox would be the first console to feature hard drives if using hard drives as internal memory was feasible long before the Xbox existed.

As far as I know, true.

And using hard drives was feasible for saving since the mid-90s. Why didn't Sony do it with the PS2?

Look at Tachikoma's comment at the top of the page.

As Tachi already mentioned:

- X68000 was the first to have internal storage. Hard drives weren't a feasable option back in the day.

Actually, the X68000 had hard drives, the "super" version had two of them, too.

Well it isn't a console anyway.

Microsoft is truly innovative. They were the first to bring online gaming to a Microsoft home console!

So, basically, this thread is about the idea that Microsoft created the universe?



You posted in the wrong thread, obviously.

I don't even....

Then why is there an emulator for the X68000? It's dedicated hardware... -_-

There are emulators for Commodore 64/128 as well. Heck, there are emulators for Windows.

That doesn't make the, consoles.

But it's still not a console.
