The xbox was made to keep the playstaion from seling so much. MS failed in trying to compete with the PS2 with the 1st xbox but is successful with the 360. The 360 wil most likely keep the PS3 from reaching 100m+ like the PS1 and PS2 did. If MS never entered the console business I think Sony would have won this gen and could have ended Nintendo like they ended Sega.
Just like they made the Zune to compete with the ipod but it didn't get big.
Btw this is just my opinion.
