as you may be aware from my previous thread, "i bought an xbox", i recently purchased an Xbox Series S

now, i've always been a sony fanboy. i was once even probated for it. forever now, it's been true that "if you're gonna buy one, buy the sony one". even during the dark days of the PS3, real gamers knew that sony had all the good games, such as kings field, uncharted, and japanese bullshit and there just wasn't realy a compelling reason to own a xbox, even though it was the more popular choice

but like... man i dunno

i think if your only gonna buy one, buy a xbox. game pass is like, infinitely better than PS plus, for real

plus you can actually find xboxen in the wild, around here you still cant even get a ps4 lmao

forza horizon 5 finally finished downloading and, you know, i didn't used to be sold on the necessity of another console iteration, but i was grinning out loud like a moron at how good it looked and how smooth it runs at 200 mph.

Xbox is for sweaty humans who consume junk food and bottle their pee.

Playstation is for ricers, who mod their cars collect hats with the stickers on

Nintendo is for soyboys, men stuck in children bodies.

What was the appeal of the original Xbox besides Halo? There were also like, a few Rare Games, that's all I can think of.

I felt that it got over shadowed by the upcoming generation of Wii/360/PS3. And the PS2 already had an amazing library of games.

Am I missing something?

The goodness was for developers to make software with Direct3D support out of the box instead of trying to learn Japans new favorite Unix ide or whatever tf you had to learn to program for psx.

KOTOR and Mass Effect were both OG Xbox exclusives. They eventually got ported to PC, but it was at least a good year or two in both cases.

Mass Effect was Xbox 360, and KOTOR got its PC port after 6 months. OG Xbox was just for Halo.
