What Rol said is certainly true. I'd add few things:
Xbox could be easily modded. I had a few friends who modded their xboxes soon after launch. I'm not sure if it was quite as easy for gamecube and ps2.
Later in the generation xbox had the best edition of third party games, whether it be burnout 3, Timesplitters future perfect, or Splinter cell chaos theory. This was thanks in large part to xbox live.
The xbox had the ability to store and play mp3's.
Except for fighting games, right joystick>c stick.
