Microsoft also proved that first person shooters could thrive in the console space
Nah he’s right, it’s good to give credit where credit is due. People laughed and scoffed at shooters on console until Halo came out. Goldeneye made waves, but Halo set a standard.I'd give that to Sony with the first Dualshock controller. That controller combined with FPS game Alien Resurrection defined how FPS games are played on consoles and a system we still use to this day.

Shooters pre-Halo couldn’t quite figure out the right controls. Bungie made it all crystal clear.
I’m sorry man, if you ask any gamer who was alive when both AR and Halo came out during their respective years, 9 times out of 10 Halo is going to be given that crown.I have to disagree. Look at Alien Resurrection on the PS1. Before that game developers couldn't figure out the right controls for a FPS on a console. That game nailed it. So much so that it set the standard controls that we still use today.
That's partly thanks to Sony coming up with the Dualshock.
So Mr. Rock is an MS stooge. Well, this explains a lot.

You’re only focusing on who did it first and not who did it right. The game feel in Halo was on another level compared to any shooter before it(and after it for a few years). This includes how the deadzones and sensitivity were handled, down to the circle reticles which made slight room for error and the slight usage of soft-lock aiming help when aiming close enough to a part of an enemy for it to count as a registered hit. Even the way the enemy hitboxes were treated was extremely cleverly done.
I suggest looking at a behind the scenes on Halo when possible. It’s almost like they came from the future with everything they considered for a console shooter.
When I say Halo set a standard for console shooters, I truly mean that it set a standard on all fronts.
You can give playstation credit for everything else, even introducing the popularization of the right stick, but Halo takes this specific case by a mile.
Net neutral. They’ve both had a pretty equal share of success and failure.
SEGA ! No question. How can some people say Xbox ?
LOL, AMD just made consoles poor mans PC's instead of inovative tech power houses they used to be.
The 360 controller is probably the best controller ever made period. I still use them on PC or PS3 via USB dongle. No other controller has ever felt as comfortable as that one does.Microsoft brought us true online, hdd, achievements, controller refinement to almost perfection the xbox 360 controller was prob the most used controller ever.
Um I guess sega introduced us to cdrom and console addons.
It's never too late.I'm too young to have owned a SEGA
Enhanced BC is something people gloss over because they haven't used it.From a pure eco system perspective MS has contributed more to console gaming than any platform holder
