I don't think so, Halo was the reason I got the original XBOX, I remember me and my cousins playing it for hours and hours.  Halo 3 was the reason I got a 360.

Probably not, Halo is the main reason I got the original Xbox. Well that and my disappointment in the Game Cube. Gears was the reason I got a 360 when I did so maybe that would have been when I jumped in anyway if there wasn't Halo.

I first played Halo on PC(still play online) and it became one of the reasons I got a 360(the other being JRPGs). I would probably not care too much about the Xbox brand without it.

It didn't really even need to start, I though everyone knew what Halo means to MS.

Probably not. I bought the original Xbox after playing Halo at a friends house. I bought my Xbox 360s, to play Halo 3 and Reach. However, Halo 4 was dissappointing and so I dont really trust 343 anymore. I dont see myself buying an Xbox One anytime soon for that reason.

Yeah well COD has throw a turd in just about everyone else's punch bowl. This too I thought was common knowledge.

You know, I think Halo and Halo 2 are literally the only two games I played on the original xbox.

I'm not sure. Maybe not, or at least not at first, anyway. I was a SEGA fan looking for a new home, and NO WAY was Nintendo going to be an option, so it was either Xbox or Playstation for me. My parents got me a PS2 for Christmas one year, and I got a few games for it (including the original Killzone), but I never really dove into it. I wasn't a big fan of the controller, and there weren't any PS2 exclusives that had really grabbed hold of me. It's possible I might have settled on the PS2 had Halo not come along, but it's hard to say.

I got into Halo and Xbox when my friends all started playing; I wound up getting an Xbox around the time Halo 2 came out, so I could join in on the fun without having to use other peoples' consoles. Without Halo, it's hard to say if I would have gravitated towards Xbox so soon. To be fair, though, it wasn't just Halo that got me hooked on Xbox. The controller (namely the S controller) was easily my favorite controller of that generation; its button labeling and thumbstick placement made for an easy transition from my SEGA Dreamcast. Fable was also important; that game caught my imagination, and I've been a fan of the series ever since.

The 360 only further solidified my leaning toward Xbox. Once again, all my friends (who played videogames) played on Xbox, and I had great times playing a variety of games, including Halo, Fable, and Mass Effect 1+2 (ME, which was Xbox exclusive at the time, was the main reason I first got my own 360), as well as a ton of great XBLA titles.

I was a PC gamer even before the original Xbox launched and I still bought one despite having Halo on the PC.
And yet, I still found it an enjoyable piece of kit back-in-the-day even if many of the games didn't push the hardware back then.

My original reasoning for purchasing it was for a Perfect Dark sequel that was rumored for it, having coming off the Nintendo 64, unfortunately it got canned and was released on the Xbox 360 instead and was nowhere near as good as the original game.
I also looked forward to the canned StarCraft: Ghost, being a massive StarCraft fan and all.

Yes. Actually, I didn't like Halo when I tried it on the original Xbox.
I bought the console because of the problems I had with PS2. I had to change the the piece that looks like an eye that read the discs every three months and it was costly, $100.
Ninja Gaiden is the game that made an Xbox fan.
