Games subscriptions were not invented by Microsofts Gamepass, they just copied what other publishers already had and threw money on it. They still make losses with it.

Cloud gaming weren´t invented by microsoft either, they did what they always do, they took an existing product, copied it and put a lot of money into it.

Xbox Live, really? Online services for console to download games, connect players through online gaming already had been around in the 1980s and 90s. Online gaming were also heavily used in the PC market already.

Microsoft did not invent any of these things. They are good at taking ideas from others, invest lots of money in it and maybe advance some of the technology from time to time. That is not what i would call innovation. But there were many products where they tried the same thing and failed horribly.

And i won´t say that Sony is the most innovative in the sector either, but their overall impact with many systems and Games was much bigger than MS in the past. Especially the PS1 opened the market to a whole new audience of adult players.

The most impact with new hardware products through decades imho had Nintendo with NES reviving the console market after the game crash, first widely adopted mobile gaming handheld GameBoy, Analogue Sticks on N64, motion controls with Wii, dual Display with touch on 3DS and the modernized mobile handheld Switch.

I own both, Dualsense and Xbox Controller. The Xbox controller has the advantage of replaceable batteries. But the build quality is way worse. The buttons are very loud and clicky, same with analogue sticks, overall it feels very cheap. And yes, they miss a lot of features the dualsense have, but the build quality is the main point i don't like the controller very much.

And maybe you tell me where microsoft is innovative, cause i can not see it.

Microsoft never innovate things, they just buy market share with investments no one else can afford. They do it until all competitors got out of business or been swallowed by MS.
