The Xbox is a video game console developed by Microsoft, and was first released in late 2001. It was Microsoft's first independent venture into the console arena, and competed in the sixth generation of video game consoles, primarily against the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube and to a lesser extent, the Sega Dreamcast. The Xbox was Microsoft's major console until 2005, when the Xbox's successor, the Xbox 360 launched.
Overview[]
Though the Xbox does not represent Microsoft's first foray into video games, it does represent their first attempt at a dedicated video game console. It was built by the team which had pioneered DirectX technology on Windows PCs (hence its working name, "DirectX Box"), and was the first major console in many years not to have been designed by a Japanese video game company. The Xbox is largely considered to be a relatively successful endeavour for Microsoft, though the company's business naivety when dealing with console gaming (particularly in Japan where the Xbox bombed) led to a number of issues which kept the Xbox behind the PlayStation 2 both in terms of content and sales.
The Xbox is considered to have been the most powerful console of its generation, but was disposed of relatively quickly after the launch of the far more successful Xbox 360 console. Many consider the Xbox (and by extension, the Xbox 360) to be the spiritual successor to Sega's line of consoles.
