Would you have been an Xbox fan if it had not been for Halo?

I was a PC gamer even before the original Xbox launched and I still bought one despite having Halo on the PC.
And yet, I still found it an enjoyable piece of kit back-in-the-day even if many of the games didn't push the hardware back then.

My original reasoning for purchasing it was for a Perfect Dark sequel that was rumored for it, having coming off the Nintendo 64, unfortunately it got canned and was released on the Xbox 360 instead and was nowhere near as good as the original game.
I also looked forward to the canned StarCraft: Ghost, being a massive StarCraft fan and all.
