MULTI Inventions of PlayStation

[gamermind]

Not only Nintendo stand's locomotive of progressing gaming industry, I will say more - Nintendo, a couple with Microsoft is not ashamed to borrow ideas from Sony.

And so, what the Sony brought on the console market:

1.​

DVD to consoles. What then took over Nintendo and Microsoft.

2.​

Vertical position of the console. Also it was taken over Nintendo and Microsoft, without remorse.

3.​

Two analog stick. Nintendo and Microsoft, too, were quick to steal the idea.

4.​

Firmware upgrades, first appeared in the PSP have been copied by everyone else.

5.​

The original management began with the camera AyToy, an idea which has taken over the Microsoft (Natal).

6.​

Hard drive in consoles. First console with the connector under the hard drive was the PlayStation 2.

7.​

The first joystick with 2 lower handles became DualShok.

8.​

USB port first appeared in the PlayStation 2, as an optical output and an Ethernet port.

9.​

Brought to the PS3 console HDMI and BluRay. You'll see, it will become standard for all next-generation consoles.

10.​

Ability to watch DVD movies on the console first appeared with the PlayStation 2.

11.​

The first game console entirely in Russian, became MediEvil 2, publisher Sony.

12.​

PSPGo first handheld console with anti-glare screen (I assure you from this moment such screens will become standard for portable consoles). A first PSP handheld console with games on disks and analog stick.

13.​

PlayStation Home first 3D online service.

Disagree with only act 12. Ant glare screen were not specifically designed for Sony PSP. Whether it is for gaming console or HD'tv's.

Should be moved to the PS section

never realized how much Sony brought to the gaming industry, SONY FTW

now that i think about it dual analogue sticks are by far the most important factor in controllers ... not only do they improve game play experience they are virtually the only reason one can play FPS games on consoles ...

there were shooters on consoles before dual stick. golden eye etc.

but yes i agree with you on the game play improvement. that second stick is probably the most significant innovation ( or improvement rather, imo, since n64 introduced the analogue stick to consoles ) on the OP list.

and what is up with number 7? lower handles? n64 controller again. even the old genesis controller to an extent.

 

[DietyDevil]

Song all the way. Bluray and USB are biggest achievements. SONY RULES!

 

[Ranger Taffles]

Yh sony are quite thinkers but they lack marketing skills. Although they do secure the idea of 10 year cycle (I hope).

1.​

DVD to consoles. What then took over Nintendo and Microsoft.

CDs were brought by Nintendo (Dreamcast to be exact)...and evolved into DVDs

2.​

Vertical position of the console. Also it was taken over Nintendo and Microsoft, without remorse.

No biggie, who cares about vertical position unless you wanna save space (there's nothing innovative in that)

3.​

Two analog stick. Nintendo and Microsoft, too, were quick to steal the idea.

One was not sufficient when everyone saw the benefits of two. arguably, arcades might have had this before

4.​

Firmware upgrades, first appeared in the PSP have been copied by everyone else.

WHAT?! Don't tell me firmware upgrades didn't exist for other devices. When gaming consoles started using software in the ROM that supported upgrade, they upgrade it.

5.​

The original management began with the camera AyToy, an idea which has taken over the Microsoft (Natal).

"Eyetoy" and Natal are two completely different things with only the Camera in common

6.​

Hard drive in consoles. First console with the connector under the hard drive was the PlayStation 2.

still wasn't utilized as much as Xbox's HDD in the early years

7.​

The first joystick with 2 lower handles became DualShok.

Where else would they put 2 large magnetic discs if not the handles?! (Common sense dude)!

8.​

USB port first appeared in the PlayStation 2, as an optical output and an Ethernet port.

first appeared on PC, and Ethernet port was a new at that time but Dreamcast had a built-in modem

9.​

Brought to the PS3 console HDMI and BluRay. You'll see, it will become standard for all next-generation consoles.

New tech, no innovation. Next time they might even have esata ports, will you write the same again?

10.​

Ability to watch DVD movies on the console first appeared with the PlayStation 2.

given.

11.​

The first game console entirely in Russian, became MediEvil 2, publisher Sony.

game console? or console game? and really...i don't believe that. Mario could be the first console game

12.​

PSPGo first handheld console with anti-glare screen (I assure you from this moment such screens will become standard for portable consoles). A first PSP handheld console with games on disks and analog stick.

Anti-glare screens are much needed. I think some phones have them already

13.​

PlayStation Home first 3D online service.

...hmm, Xbox Live and its community anyone? (not 3D but definitely something for social networking)

 

[Ex0dus]

I think sega might have been the first to introduce CDs through the sega cd addon.

 

[Rapchik Killer]

A total fanboy list.. very well summarized by evilracer above.. and i wouldnt give this point either:

Ability to watch DVD movies on the console first appeared with the PlayStation 2.

first console produced when dvds were common, so ofcourse would be the first to play movies using it..

The only point sony gets is that it took the risk to launch a game console when it didnt look to be that impressive a market..

 

[R1CK]

I sense some "TR3Y 4 LIFE" propaganda here

btw, Shahzone is definitely "TR3Y 4 LIFE" material. I see his PS3 fanboy-ish comments everywhere. Especially that comment on Alan Wake being an average looking game

 

[Roark]

well i'll tell u an underground thing that most people dont know ... ps3 bought the first concept of augmented reality by introducing it with eye of judgement and the pseye.

the yes the eyetoy with the ps2 was the first move by sony ... other consoles followed later ...

 

[old bigboss]

^indeed,saying eyetoy and Natal arent the same thing is just plain stupid as the technology used is the same but rather advanced...

 

[radd]

applause for evilracer

pure fanboy drivel

 

[Mustaffa]

lmao at evil racer. how much more fan boyish can you get. ahahaaa

 

[amaga]

thatz amazing,sony FTW
