Without Xbox, there would be no console wars and fanboys going crazy in message boards. The way I see it, as soon as the 360 launched first to stick it to Nintendo and Sony, that was when the console wars officially started (in my eyes). IDK if any of ya listen to rap, but MS is like 50 cent IMO. When 50 cent came out he sold a ton more than his competitors and pretty much got the fans to start looking at album sales to see who sold the most, and he started alot of beef with other rappers. the 360 came out a year ahead and sold alot more than it's competitors at the time and got all the fanboys to look at the sales numbers (I'm pretty sure that ppl looked at it before, but it's not as widespread as it is now, I know I wouldn't be here now) and created beef with other console makers (especially with Sony because of their "stealing exclusives" plan)
On the other hand, without Xbox, there would prolly be no Hard drives for any console and their online service would not be as good as it is now. Also, many games like Gears Of War and Halo would prolly not have existed.
