Topic	Microsoft and Nintendo are actually innovative in their own way. Sony is not.

Microsoft is doing this "oh look how BC we are, how consumer friendly!" shtick to recover from the anti-consumer shit they wanted to start this gen with. It's great that they're doing it, but innovation was never the goal. Nintendo always tries new things, but they too had to recover from what was probably the dumbest gaming device they made since the Virtual Boy. As long as Sony doesn't fall flat on their face once, they'll just keep on trucking doing the same Microsoft has had some pretty big innovations every gen. Xbox had custom soundtracks, built-in hard drive and a console online gameplay that wasn't shit with universal gamer tags and matchmaking. 360 had achievements, digital stores, the ability to install discs onto the hard drive to help loading times and the ability to update the entire OS of a console. Xbox One had Play Anywhere, Enhanced BC patches and Game Pass. Some things are controversial but you can't deny their impact. PlayStation isn't a slouch either though. PS1 and PS2 basically started the multimedia console trend. Sony even attempted to do that with the PSP. They really changed the viewpoint that video game consoles were for kids. PS3 also had crossbuy with handhelds and started the whole Games with PS+ thing. Honestly all three are pretty damn influential. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:934980301] in Microsoft ...
