Funny looking, and IMO ugly, machine for starters. PS2 was sexy, Xbox was grunty/manly. People shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but they do, so you have to be attractive as well as have a good personality. Actually if you're a whore you mostly only need to be attractive and have certain skills.
Xbox converted a lot of PC gamers into (at least part time) console gamers. Gamecube was never going to draw in that sort of crowd. Halo was a really big part of bringing some of the PC crowd over. And that PC connection is still there to a certain extent, which is why WRPG and FPS games do better on 360 than on PS3/Wii, I reckon.
