A lot of people hated the Xbox.
I was one of them. But actually it was just envy because it ate PS2 for breakfast. Eventually I gave in and really enjoyed it a lot.
I just want to mention one game: Chronicles of Riddick. It had absolutely MIND-BLOWING graphics. In fact, it wouldn't have looked too much out of place as a 360 launch title imo. I do think the original DUKE controllers were an absolute joke though.
