The original Xbox hadn't quite seen its full graphical potential yet (unlike the PS2, which most certainly has.) I definitely think they killed it off a year too early, though I don't think it would have sold much more if they'd kept it alive. The Xbox doesn't have the back-catalog that the PS1 or PS2 have.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
