Well your way too young to realize how much of an impact Halo 1 and 2 made when they where released and on gaming in general on top of that you live in the wrong region to realize how important the original XBox was. 

Really ? Your seriously going to use age against me when you don't even know who I am in real life ? I'll say this much that I'm an adult and can make an informed outlook but that's as far as it goes. 

The original xbox was IRRELEVANT for the most part and nothing can change that including halo. BTW I'm also a fan of halo too but I'm not oblivious to the fact that the original xbox was a failure all around. 

Just admit you're wrong, brother. You'll feel better.

How can you say that "facts" are wrong ? 

The nerve of the hardcore stigmatized gaming community around here to call these so called "FACTS" wrong LOL.

It's hard to argue that Xbox was relevant and GameCube was not, is the long and short of it. To claim that Xbox was relevant is to acknowledge that GameCube was, while to deny GameCube's relevance is to deny Xbox's. It's pretty straightforward. The growing concept that this MS-Sony "duopoly" extends back to the 6th generation is absurd at best.


I wouldn't call it absurd.  Maybe I'm just absurd and contrarian but hear me out.  

Xbox eventually got GTA and other big games that were acclaimed on PS2 and thus eventually those developers got experience with their platform. This helped with everyone not just waiting for PS3 during 7th gen.  Back then  Sony was the one doing all the timed exclusive stuff and making it seem as if the Xbox needed more games in comparison to their plaform.  I bet much like the PS360 when you compare the software libraries of xbox and ps2 a year or so after they are irrelevant they start to look far more similar than you were lead to believe initially with popular titles ending up on both platforms. Microsoft wasn't as good at it but they were most certainly attempting to get parity or duopoly status with Sony's platform in the 6th gen.
