WhiteWolf Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Microsoft's debut video game console was released on 15th November 2001 in the US, and challenged Sony's PlayStation 2, Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's GameCube. It was the result of research work from Microsoft's DirectX team, which included Kevin Bachus and Seamus Blackley, and production work from Ed Fries, Microsoft's game publishing boss. Then-Microsoft CEO Bill Gates unveiled the Xbox at the Game Developers Conference in 2000. The Xbox introduced Halo, also ten years old today, and in 2002 Xbox Live, which now enjoys 35 million members. Launch games included Dead or Alive 3, Amped, Fuzion Frenzy, Project Gotham Racing and Jet Set Radio Future. What was your favourite Xbox game? As of 10th May 2006 Microsoft had shifted 24 million Xbox units. 16 million were sold in the US, six million in Europe and two million in Asia. The Xbox was discontinued in late 2006 as Microsoft concentrated on its successor, the Xbox 360. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-15-the-xbox-is-10-years-old-today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWolf Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 My first game on Xbox was Gears of War .... .....It was Nov 2006 ... First RROD - Jan 2009 Ten Incredible Gifts Xbox Gave Modern Gaming The original Xbox innovated in many ways and borrowed in others. It was a work of passion, the brain-child of powerful forces and of smart minds. Of course, like all consoles, it had its flaws, and mistakes were made by Microsoft as the company attempted to claw its way into the games space. But there can be no doubt that the original Xbox made a huge difference to gaming. By the end of its life in late 2005, it had set the stage for the gaming world we know today. Xbox changed gamers' expectations, technology's standards, and the future of other hardware companies' console ideals. Here are ten ways the original Xbox changed the world.

Right Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ten Incredible Gifts Xbox Gave Modern Gaming but we're thankful for Microsoft's bold and fearless attempts to revolutionize gaming. It recognized the importance of its ingenuity and used the original Xbox as the sacrificial lamb that would eventually bring them into the mass market as one of the most powerful consumer companies in the industry.

Big Boss Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 It recognized the importance of its ingenuity and used the original Xbox as the sacrificial lamb that would eventually bring them into the mass market as one of the most powerful consumer companies in the industry Thats harsh. Original Xbox was ended abruptly but still it was a great console. It kept the FPS gaming on consoles relevant. PS2 was just not good enough for FPSes. It was by no means a sacrificial lamb.
