And the PS2 is still selling and getting games even to this day. It sold more then 3 million this year IIRC. And Xbox killed it in online aswell.

LOL

Let's be serious. PS and PS2 defeated their competition in sales and games. PS and PS2 were defeated in graphics.

It released in 2002 in the UK and started to die After 2004. Great system, pathetic life cycle due to MS.

What i loved about Xbox 1 was that it didnt try to be anything else and was the best at it (consoles).

Too bad I've gone through about 5 of them in that time span. My Dreamcoast from launch date 9/9/1999 still runs like new though :D

Eh, didn't the Gamecube surpass the Xbox a few months after the Xbox360 was released?

Not really. According to the Wikipedia sources GC sold as of 2010, 21.7 million. The XBOX as of 2006, 24 million.

9 Years and it didn't even scrap the 70 million mark? Such a weak brand!nintendo-4life

Well you can't have big numbers unless you are first in any given gen, and both XBOX haven't been first. The first usually gets a proportion off the charts compared to the proportion of the rest. Nintendo and Sony consoles clearly show the difference the difference(NES, SNES, Wii vs. N64, GC and PS, PS2 vs. PS3).

Yeah and most of the kids who play the xbox are just turning 9 aswell... I saw a post a few days ago stating "I grew up with the 360 controller" Thats hilarious!!!JohnF111

that doesn't even make sense. maybe you should consider sarcastic remarks.

I picked up the Xbox at launch, but for the first year and a half it was just the Halo support system as far as I was concerned. From 2003 onwards, the library filled out nicely with games like KOTOR, Riddick, Panzer Dragoon Orta, the Otogis and Ninja Gaiden.

It came out my birthday and was my favorite console last gen. I love that big beast.

who cares, that console was sent to die the moment it was released anyway.

ROFL. that was when i replied, "wait, if you grew up with the 360 controller, then in reality you're not a grown up yet." XD

good times bro. the original xbox graced me with some of the best gaming experiences from my childhood.

no, it was taken out of context.

I still HAVE my original xbox despite MS's cruel euthanizing of it.

if its important to you then its important to you. regardless of what IT is!! As long as I enjoyed playing the games then that was the reason I got the console. GC first then PS2 then Xbox. I had games on them all that I loved.

Too bad that Microsoft Killed leaving it lifeless. its carcus laid to reast not to longafter Halo 2 launched, Forza launched ... etc. May it rest in peace.

cool, and it only lived for 4 years. meanwhile ps2 is still living, nice try though. the xbox sucked

It is not customary to celebrate birthdays of dead things.

Happy Birthday Xbox (and if TC hadn't done the topic I would have) - and Happy early birthday to the GameCube - turning 9 on the 18th - and Xbox 360 turning 5 on the 22nd.

Edit: On a side-note, as this is system wars, my original launch Xbox is using its 4th DVD drive while my launch PS2 still works great.

Funny that it was the beginning of the end for SONy, yet they totaly went on to Dominate last gen and are a mere 3 million away from 360 in total sales. yup, totaly dead.

Yeah, those things had an impact on their respective generations. The Xbox did not.

Mickey Mouse and the Wizard of Oz STILL sell

and Nintendo Power celebrated the ANNIVERSARY of its RELEASE, not its "Birthday"

Xbox dies a long time ago, if it was still going strong then i guess u can celebrate its "Birthday" but its dead x_x

It was the beginning of robust online systems with HDD standard in consoles, and the beginning of a tech race. themyth01
