Gameplay Today posted the first part in what they've said will be a long-running series covering the greatest innovations and leaps in technology for console gaming.

The world of videogames is easily one of the most amazing fields of business, especially considering the relative youth of the industry when compared to other similar entertainment industries. For many, it seems like movies have been a source of entertainment forever. Videogames however, only became main-stream in the late 1970s. Despite its youth, videogames have gotten more and more impressive, and with good cause – lots of innovation. Young gamers might think XBL and PSN or the Nintendo are the biggest innovations ever.
