Guess what? Xbox wouldn't exist today without Halo.

Reasons:

1. Halo was the only launch title even worth consideration. The other titles were a joke or just lame in general.

2. Halo single-handedly launched the Xbox system to a mainstream competitor.

3. Think about if Bungie had decided to opt for either of the other 2 systems or even computer (1st.) Xbox would have been on the discount rack faster than Dreamcast.

4. I don't invest in Xbox or Xbox360 for the pure and simple fact that the system has almost no first party support whatsoever. That includes even the mighty Halo series. The only entity that even comes to mind is PGR.

Halo 1 and 2: Computer

Fable: Computer

Elder Scrolls series: Computer/PS3

Gears of War: Computer (TBA)

(Mark my words, Halo 3 will come out for PC within the next 5 years, and w/o that stupid yearly fee to boot.)

If anybody has any insight as to why they bought the Xbox or 360 for a reason other than Halo, please post. Am I the only person that notices this?

I will admit to this, unnecessary yearly fee aside and not counting computer, the Xbox is the king of online competition and organization.

NOTICE: Do NOT confuse this post of mine with the underlying idea that I don't like the Halo series. I do, in fact, enjoy Halo to a very large degree and I wholeheartedly support Bungie. I just get incredibly hot in the face when people can't/won't admit that Halo was the only reason to own an Xbox and subsequently the 360.

rare is first party now, I'm sure. Anyway the thing people dont get was MS had been buying up game studious loooong before the 360.

Pretty much....but better games came out aftwarwards, Remember that.

Xbox 1 had some pretty good titiles, Ninja Gaiden, Far Cry, HL2, Doom 3, Chronicles of Riddick, Fable...etc etc.

Ummmm. How is he not right?

TC ... u are that guy GermanShepard... U said ull leave gs forever, why did u cm back?

without halo I probably wouldnt buy xbox 1.. after playing fps on ps2 and after playing halo on xbox I really had a change of heart... same goes for DOA 3. same goes for Splinter cell, it was much much more fun than MGS. Same goes for Ninja Gaiden. but GTA on PS2 was really the only thing PS2 had I liked.. athough my PC could handle every GTA till it came for xbox....( Fable changed my perspective of RPG, findly theoutdatedcombat system of RPGs were over..)

4 AAA Microsoft published games on the 360 right now (Halo, Gears, PDZ, Forza2), all of which are currently exclusive (gears will go soon, to be replaced with Mass Effect). Thats pretty good.. I think the PS2 only had 7 Sony Published AAA games, in 7 years. (GT3, GoW,GoW2, R&C, Jak2, Twisted Medal Black, MBL 06, Last of which is on PSP also)

So is MS first/second party really doing that bad?

Because there are some very good decidedly non-halo games on the 360.

It Halo didn't exits Xobx PROBABLY wouldn't be around today. But guess what. If they 64 Had of used CD's then Playstation might not be around today. It's all If If If but maybe.

Thats not true, but even if it was it's not the case now as the 360 has tons of brilliant games, I liked sony but they've gotten very lazy almost as though they just expected the PS3 to sell although maybe I and many others thought the same it's simply not the case when you haven't got games.

Viva Pinata??? Are you serious???

Thus far I've seen some viable reasons to support early Xbox and the system in general. I appreciate the feedback but I still have yet to see a strong argument against my initial statement.

To the person citing PGR and DoA3 as AA titles:

Gamespot rating:

PGR 8.1

DoA3 7.9

?

Well whatever, despite all of that, to the people that cite other launch titles as comparison, that's grasping at straws. If your only argument for Xbox is the fact that the comparitive systems at the time didn't have anything either is a tad ambiguous. Are you saying you bought the Xbox for another reason?

And to whoever cited me as TC, no I am not that person, nor do I have any clue who that is.
