[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"]M$. Nothing comes close._Cadbury_

Sony definitely. MS at least brought standarized online, system, hard drives and kinect

Microsoft.

When it comes to innovation Sony sticks out like a sore thumb, as of late it looks like they just take ideas from other companies and try and make them "Better".OhJayDubya

LMAO!!!

Sony?

AHAHAAHAH

Well, ignoring the nonsense poll, the answer to that question should be obvious: Nintendo.

Many innovations mentioned aren't all that innovative, just something brought to consoles for the first time. I'll start a list excluding sh!t like Kinect and Move (lol)

Sony

• Hard drive support (Before Xbox 1 launched)
• Cloud saving
• Automatic downloads
• Remote Play
• Disc based games
• 3D
• Dual analog
• Other OS when it existed

MS

• DLC
• Achievements/Gamerscore
• Netflix/media services on consoles
• Cross game chat
• Trial games
• How you can download something to the 360 via Xbox.com, dunno if there's a name for this feature
• Wireless controllers

Sony. They are very good at copying other´s ideas! Trophies, PSN, Move, Halo killers...

Finally, with a poll, System Wars has come to the conclusion that Nintendo is the most innovative. Took long enough.

I thought Nintendo had the first wireless controller.

Sony has innovated a lot from the software front with games like Journey, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, LBP and soon with LOU. while M$ is all milkage with XBL and now Kinect. But Nintendo ruined gaming for everyone with their pointless gimmicks and under-powered hardware.

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] sixaxis isn't innovative. its a gimmick that failed, like the move. blu ray isn't really innovative when it requires 15-20 minutes mandatory installs. remote play is nothing, how many games actually use it? like six axis its a poorly implemented gimmick meanwhile MS has revolutionized online gaming, introduced achievements, was a big reason why so many indie games are actually successful now a days, netflix and alot of other media services to consoles mems_1224

This explains why MS is the cancer of gaming. They caused more harm than good to the industry.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="_Cadbury_"] Sorry but nothing you said even relates to innovation, and half of it is just ridiculous. Trying to denounce the innovation of blu-ray because it requires mandatory installs lolwut?GamerwillzPS

99% of multiplayers nowadays are tacked on, resulting in a medicore single player and a mediocre multiplayer, its getting to the point to where devs are bashing their own games for having them (Like Spec Ops:The line) Its fine if you build the game from the ground up for multiplayer, but everyone just tacks it on and pretends like its going to attract CoD fans.

DLC has been taking content out of the game, Mass Effect 3 is an example that has DLC that is obviously suppose to be part of the main game.

Nintendo is the only right answer. Using outdated tech and refusing to get with the times (they are just NOW getting HD! ) is inexcusable. If Nintendo was the only company around we would never be playing great games with great graphics or good online. Nintendo should just go 3rd party and stop making systems, if they don't want to adapt and move on, then let them go the way of the dinosaurs.

I don't know why people are saying Sony. They are the best in the business. They are always pushing forward with the new tech, and they determine what the standard is. Like what they did with Blu Ray, DVD is for last gen. MS can't make a system that actyally works to save their lives, ya you can talk about the slim but come on, that is still brand new. Give them another 5 years and we'll see what happens.

Plus MS only cares about nickle and diming people, they don't care about games much at all really. Hence why they stopped making new IP's.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]how is xbl or the other media services not innovative? how are achievements not innovative? MS completely changed the gaming industry this gen. more games are multiplayer focused, more indie games are getting recognition. more games get dlc, for better or worse. all games have achievements. all consoles have netflix now and the 360 offers a ton of media services. face it, MS completely changed what a console can be this gen. sony hasn't really done anything besides blu ray. even then, more storage space isn't that big of an innovation considering the 10 seconds to swap a disc is a lot less than the mandatory install times mems_1224

Now that I think about it, I would say MS is the least innovative console manufacturer at the moment.

Lately Sony has released the ps vita (first hand held with 2 touch interfaces) and will release Wonder book sometime this year.

MS hasn't done anything innovative lately.
