   By your exact logic, the DS was the last innovation, since there are   
   several titles with completely new gameplay that simply would not have   
   been possible on any other system. Games such as Ouendan, Nintendogs and   
   Brain Training would not have ever existed were it not for the   
   introduction of Nintendo DS, and seeing as the Wii introduces yet   
   another completely new way to interact with games, and therefore will   
   provide completely new gameplay, providing developers think outside the   
   box a little.   
      
   Going back to my original point, Sonic may have a similar game mechanic   
   to before, but playing it with a different controller will deliver a   
   fresh experience, something which playing tarted up Tomb Raider on the   
   360 doesn't really deliver over the PS2 version.
