I stand corrected. I guess what I should have said is ...
Microsoft is the first to bring mainstream console online game play and the first global online system that is made up of all different walks of life and all ages from kids less than 10 years old to people like my father, who turns 60 real soon, in an easy to use and play format. The specific idea of online gameing was not made by MS, but I do have to say ... they have made it easy for anyone, no matter what level of technical abilities you might have, to play online again the rest of the world.
True Computer online play will dominate for many years to come, but just like the PS3, it's not for everyone.
I know that someone will point out where I'm wrong, but that's okay ... we are all allowed to speak our minds and thoughts.
I'm a simple gamer, who really aprecites the simplicity of the XBLA system. I really don't think that SONY will be able to even come close to matching LIVE in anyway in it's opening generation, unless they copy almost everything from MS. Nintendo on the other hand is a briliant company with great programmers that will be able to make a system that even a 6 year old will be able to make use of and enjoy.
Given SONY's Programing and Web expertise, it's a wonder that Microsoft didn't just hire SONY to make their online service.
Of course Sony coming out with a better online service than the people who invented online console gaming, is just as idiotic as my previous statement.
