>Huge as fuck>Most expensive console>Ignored by almost all of Japan when the Japanese videogame industry was the dominant force in the business>Microsoft had no experience talking with devs, got laughed out of the room when approaching Capcom to get RE on it>was the only console with a online paywall>controller so big only fat Americans liked it>only sold slightly better than the Gamecube, wich was a huge financial failure for Nintendoif it wasnt for Halo, this would have been the last Xbox
>>721432231>received tons of Sega exclusives>was easy to mod and load up with emulators>almost always got the best version of multiplatform games>even had an exclusive Shin Megami Tensei game (admittedly not a very good one)>lead to the 360 getting some of the best exclusive jrpgs of that generation like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon
>>721432231>still the only mainstream controller to have 6 face buttonsthey were geniuses ahead of their time
>>721433074>>received tons of Sega exclusivesit didnt get the most important Sega games of the generation
>>721432231It had a big strong pentium 3 in it though
What do you think the next Xbox will be? I know it's a popular opinion that Microsoft will never put out another one but my gut says they're going to do at least one more dedicated box but it'll be a Steam box style htpc that runs a modified version of Windows so they can say it has both Game Pass and Steam on it.
microsoft has made the best consoles hardware wise, if xbox existed in the 90s it would've been the top brand now. but it didn't so it doesn't have any gay nostalgia garbage from manchildren like sony and nintendo
>>721434395all Xbox has going for it is gay nostalgia from Gen x faggots who spend their college days playing Halo in their dorms instead of getting layed
>>721432231>Huge as fuckI never understood this complaint. Who fucking cares how big it is?
>>721433160sega saturn and n64
>>721434880You seem to be upset. Are you one of those "gay manchildren" or are you mad you weren't around for that era?
>>721433228It is weird the xbox didn't get these, especially considering that windows got a port at around the same time. That being said they would have been the worst versions, considering the 2004 pc ports are even worse than DX and battle.
>college dorms>roommate is out>turn on Xbox>put Dead or Alive beach volley ball>roll up a spliff>spend the night listening to music while playing poker with the girls puffing smoke out the window by the fanIt wasn’t much but it was dearly loved.
The controller was amazing. That's why it became the standard.>>721434395Not longevity wise, unfortunately. Original Xbox's and early 360s are so damn breakable.
>>721432231I wish the emulation wasn't so behind. I want to play orta without stuttering or glitches.
>>721435468Its backwards compatible
>>721435594Why would I buy a modern xbox when it's just a locked down PC? They aren't even doing exclusives anymore with new titles.
>>721435468Consider getting an Xbox One S or One X. Not the Series X/S, the last generation One X/S. Not just for this game, but so many damn good games.
>>721432231>Halo 2>Ninja Gaiden Black>OtogiStill better than the shitcube.
>>721432231>if the console didn't have good games it would have diedWow really?
>>721432231PS2 ironically did the worst financial wise, Sony didn't make money on it
>>721436082Best selling console in history didn't make any money?
>Doesn’t require memory cardsWas honestly so based at the time
>>721433228Doesn’t matter, Blinx the Troon Slayer mogs both of those
>>721436525>controllers had 2 memory card slots>never saw one in any store and no one i knew had any eitherWas it all a prank
>>721432231>was the only console with a online paywallIt was the console of the generation with an actual decent multiplayer option, Gamecube did not have online play and the PS2 required a network adapter that was sold separately. The golden age of console multiplayer happened on Xbox, sorry that you missed out
>>721433160It lacks 4 too buttons and has a shittier control scheme for some games like aggressive inline or ssx for it
>>721437138Did anyone actually play online with a ps2? I never got the adaptor but I had a friend who had one and he claimed it was complete shit. Lag/disconnects, etc. Maybe his internet sucked.
>>721434395Xbox would be a top tier brand right now if they catered to hardcore gamers instead of chasing after Wii casuals with the Kinect. The Wii killed Xbox, because the Xbox tried to become the Wii.
>>721437295The Xbox One reveal killed Xbox, the Kinect was just an optional fad.
>>721437471The Xbone doubled down on the Kinect initially. The bundled Kinect drove the price up so the PS4 was $100 cheaper and people didn't want to deal with the Kinectivity.
>>721437572>Forced Kinect with Xbox One at launchFuck, I forgot about that. Was such a ripoff
>>721435934*Good game
>>721436670fuck you say lil Xboy?
>>721436729i think they where mostly for migrating savefiles over to your friends Xbox
>>721436219Playstation consoles are sold at a loss for Sony. The games are where they make profits.
>>721437276>Did anyone actually play online with a ps2?yes, on the slim with built in ethernet port... played the fuck out of Star Wars Battlefront
>>721438490>crash
>>721433228You mean the god awful port for Gamecube that keep getting worse each time it gets ported to the point everyone now think the original game was a broken mess?Oh no, the horror
>>721435272>normalfag>>>/out/
>>721435272>Get a action replay>Can make all the girls naked somehowI love that game just for that
>>721432231Its younger brother however got huge because 360's team just said fuck it, release whatever you want on it to the Japanese.>Japanese start producing high quality coomer games.>Its actually quite popular console and second most popular is the PSP down there.>Visual Novels, Hentai/Doujin Shit, special releases to both consoles.>Their main selling point over a sony or regular nintendo console in Japan at the time other than Monster Hunter for PSP which was what a lot of casual players played with friends back then.How do I know it? Well it was referenced to a lot in manga and anime a lot of time and it checks out historically through data and Miura gooned to IdolM@ster and killed Berserk. Xboxchads...
>>721441990>>Its actually quite popular console and second most popular is the PSP down there.This is some Historical cope you got thereNobody in Japan was buying the 360 , the Developers rather flocked to the wii instead
>>721443230They literally peaked for 360, it was the other xboxes that shat themselves with a quick research, for x360, 1.6mil copies were sold. That's quite a well selling device and it was 100% for those and the arcade games and indie games that were released on it. (shmups, fighting games etc...)You couldn't release Cero-rated "D/Z" content on Wii, right? That's where you had the 360 sales from. The adult releases.
>>721435468I should check the emulation status on the PGR games and Midtown Madness 3. Was thinking about those the other day and last timeI checked (awhile ago) they were busted in emulation.
>>721438696Wrong, its the subscription model to play online where they make the money.
>>721435780I got a One X mainly for Ninja Gaiden II recently. It was a good choice.
>game that was og xbox exclusive>was mediocre so no one really remembers it or even knows it exists>but you still really liked itWhat is it? For me, it's Brute Force. Played through it again through emulation, still pretty fun.
