the console that changed the gaming industery is:

There are a lot of game changing consoles throughout the years...really you have to categorize them.

The console that made home tv gaming possible - Atari 2600

The console that saved the video game industry - Nintendo

The console that brought video games into the mainstream media - Playstation 1

The console that changed the idea of control - Nintendo Wii

We wouldn't have the great consoles such as Snes or PS2 if it weren't for the firsts that saved and brought popularity.

Nice list. I would add the Dreamcast for introducing online gaming, and the N64 for introducing the analog stick.
