Was the original Xbox the best Microsoft console?

Never liked the Org Xbox. The controller was too similar to the Dreamcast which I hated. 360 is possibly my favorite console iv ever owned, its controller was a masterpiece for your hands and to this day the system still suprises me.

The Duke was crap, but the official controller that came later was much better.

The Duke had great analog sticks, build quality and triggers. The D-pad sucked, the face buttons were an odd shape and their positioning from eachother was strange. I never really had a problem with the size of it though and I don't think it deserves the hate it cops really. The N64 controller is much more flawed in my opinion with a terrible analog stick, essentially useless c-buttons, cramped handles etc. The S-controller had a slightly better D-pad but the black and white buttons were gimped but overall a nicer controller.
