The Xbox didn't sell very well. Without Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, it probably would've failed miserably, and we would've never seen an Xbox 360. Despite Microsoft having a ton of excellent titles for the console -- Xbox was known as the Halo console, for better or worse. I'm one of the few who was satisfied with the console and I wasn't even that big on Halo, even though I enjoyed both of them to an extent.

The Xbox had many niche and popular titles I enjoyed...

Shenmue II

Panzer Dragoon Orta

Galleon

Toejam & Earl

Phantom Dust

Advent Rising

Scrapland

Stubbs The Zombie

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

Otogi

Otogi 2

Breakdown

Call of Cthulhu

Conker: Live & Reloaded

Fable

Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden Black

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

KOTOR

Jade Empire

MechAssault

Dead Or Alive

Jet Set Radio Future

Amped

Amped 2

etc.

I had a crazy power surge and it killed my Xbox. :( Anyways, I picked up another one a little bit back, mainly because I wasn't too satisfied with how some OG Xbox games performed on Xbox 360, and because a lot of them aren't BC. Damn Microsoft! :x

Honestly, I wasn't too big on the PS2. I just didn't enjoy its big franchises that much. I did like a lot of the JRPG's, though. I just liked the Xbox, Dreamcast, and Gamecube more last generation.

I was very satisfied. X-box was superior graphically to PS2. Now Ps3 will prove superior with Killzone 2. Still,I bought a 360 today and I am very exited !

I had an Xbox, and thought it was decent. I still thought the PS2 had a vastly superior game selection. And then the 360 came out, and MS dropped the original Xbox like a bad habit. Now I'm stuck with a useless, worthless paperweight that happens to play games. One of the many reasons I will never buy another Microsoft game console.

I have no serious qualms with it. It actually had a much more complete library than most people gave it credit for... Just, that library paled before the PS2's. Realistically, most of the PS3 fanboys out there should willingly admit it was an incredible system, since it was pretty much the PS3 of last generation, with the 360 being the PS2 of this gen (barring the market dominating sales - but, library wise).

Aside from the optical drive crapping out on me, I enjoyed it. The original controller was one of the few that actually fit into my hands comfortably.

Great selection of games, I sometimes still pick up the ones I miss when I see them.

There's some areas in which the Xbox excelled in over the PS2; thus, not completely. Duh. :P

Who counts the Jaguar, the Saturn and the 3D0 as being part of the same gen as the PSX and N64? Same deal with the Dreamcast.

Sonic is getting better in recent times (most recent). But anyways, I noticed I am still yet to state my opinion. PS2>Dreamcast>GameCube>Xbox

Actually I'd say the 360's library isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as the PS2's.

Do you think Sonic Unleashed is better than most 3D Sonic games these days(if you played it)?

Well, you're more than entitled to think that... But I'd say it's the PS2 lite. It has a similar range of genres, just not as complete in any of them (except shooters, which blows the PS2 out of the water for). On top of that, compared to any other console this gen, it *easily* fills the role of "most fleshed out game library" - the role that the PS2 occupied last gen. Is the 360 on the level of the PS2? No. Is the 360 easily the closest to the PS2 we're getting this gen? Oh good lord yes.

I didn't get one until back in 2004. I remember I wanted to play Shenmue 2, Dead or Alive 3, and Mechassault badly for the longest time. I think it was cause I spent most of my time playing WC3: FT ladder back in 02-04.

My favorite games from xbox has to be

Ninja Gaiden Black

Halo 1, 2

Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate

Phantom Dust

Shenmue 2

My primary console last gen probably has to be both the ps2 and the xbox while the gamecube was my least favorite. I primarily got the GC due to Resident Evil franchise (well mostly RE1 remake)

There are only four games on that list I found to be decent. Only one that was excellent; Escape From Butcher Bay, which I later got to buy for PC.

Yeah, same here. Xbox 360 has better games.

... Really? That's a new one. Ever done a year by year comparison of AAA/AA/A numbers on the 360 VS the PS2? I'd bet it ain't that pretty. and yeah, I was a big XBOX fan last gen, and am a primary 360 gamer this gen.

I should've added "imo". I dig the social aspect of gaming, so it's obvious I enjoy what this gen offers much more. I wasn't a Socom or FFXI fan, so there wasn't much of that on PS2. Ratchet had ok online, though.

Yeah, I do agree with you there. The PS2 was a much more gaming-on-your-own oriented console than the XBOX... I mean, two controller ports and no LAN ability for most games - come on! I really loved the XBOX's social gaming. It also had a few standout single player games too (Ninja Gaiden comes to mind). The original XBOX really made the template for online console gaming though. I thought they were both very solid systems, but in SW terms, there is a bottom line to face... The PS2 had way more AAA/AA games than the XBOX, and more than the 360 has too.
