Cargo pants are easier to get around in, very versatile with those large pouches, can have camouflage for strategic missions. Jeans have been the standby forever so people get complacent and just grab them from their closet without really thinking of all the benefits they are missing if they switched to cargo pants. |

So we missed out on Fire Emblem 3,4,and 5, Bahamut Lagoon, Treasure Hunter G, Front Mission, and some other ones as well. |

--- Quote from: gf78 on January 25, 2016, 02:02:22 pm --- 1. First console to use dual-analog controls. 2. First console with an end-user programmable system & tools (Net Yaroze) 3. First console to utilize the storage capacity of DVD. 4. First console to utilize the storage capacity of Blu-Ray discs. 5. First home console to utilize VR (coming this year!) 6. Ushered in the era of 3D polygon graphics (Saturn sucked and was built around 2D sprites) 7. Moved gaming from being considered "a kid's toy" to being an acceptable pastime for adults. 8. First console to sell over 100 million units. 9. PS2 is best selling console of all time with over 150 million units sold. 10. Exclusive home to some of the most important games in history (Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Metal Gear Solid) 11. Knocked Nintendo down a peg or two, relegating them to second place. 12. Damaged Sega so badly, they went software-only. Honestly, you can say that all game makers copied and iterated on what other did before them. It's the nature of the beast. --- End quote --- Also don't forget! :) (unless I'm mistaken): First consoles to include an option for a hard drive First consoles to feature software updates First console to directly bring portable games onto their home consoles without the need for additional hardware. Championed making own games and recordings in house and personal computer use with the Linux and PSX (In addition to Net Yaroze) Championed backwards compatibility with the PS2 not really seen since the 7800. Again, no need for additional hardware other than a PS1 memory card. All out of the box. To comment on the general argument, I find this SNES-Genesis argument to be so fascinating. I never had either, and I'm sure that both consoles have their own various great games, but because I didn't grow up with either console I don't have any nostalgic affiliation with one over the other. I want to get into both, but I seriously have no opinion on which is better. I just played my very first Genesis game the other week: Fire Shark. :P |

^ XBox is the first to have a hard-drive, and the first to have game updates via XBox Live (not counting PC on both, of course). |
