BusinessWeek: Nintendo Less Innovative Than Microsoft, Sony
Numerous other factors beyond the company's consoles and video game divisions factored into their placement on the list--evidenced by the inclusion of companies such as 3M, Wal-Mart, and Procter & Gamble.
That said, it is interesting to note that Microsoft's entry was the only one of the three major console manufacturers to not mention the company's respective video game system. The small text blurb on Microsoft focused on the importance of the "Windows and Office hegemony," without so much as a reference to the company's Xbox brand. Meanwhile, both Sony and Nintendo's entries were almost entirely devoted to their console and software efforts--Sony for its work on the PlayStation 3 virtual world Home, and Nintendo for the motion-sensing Wii Remote that the article claims "shatters the [gamer] stereotype."

I would agree about Live. Nintendo and Sony talked about such a service for years with nothing on the scale of MS's current offering ever coming to fruition. I suspect because when Nintendo and Sony looked at the financial and technical committment, they both said "whoa!" - MS dug its heels in, and now its forced both Nintendo and Sony to compete in this arena, with MS having a four (or five?) year head start.

Which products are you refering to?
As of my knowledge, most products MS has are either products bought from other companies or MS just outright bought the whole company.
And where did they innovate with their new main product Windows Vista?
MS is probably the least innovative company of those that are often mentioned in the news.
