If you think about it, the original xbox was ahead of its time besides xbox live.

Halo showed that a FPS could be as good on a console (if not better) than a PC so in that regard the XBOX was
very influential. The problem with the console IMO was that other than Halo 2 no other games match the quality of the launch title. A bit of a let down there.
Also first XBOX controller was a turd.... And the size and weight of the console itself yikes!
Despite some good ideas and high specs the PS2 ruled the day.

Ignoring N64 and GoldenEye in this case is an abyssal mistake.

I was exactly thinking of this. I think Golden Eye is THE GAME which paved all path for FPS genre on Consoles!!
Furthermore the mentioning earlier about Live network on Xbox was way ahead of it's time, that's not true I think Sega (with the Dreamcast was way ahead of his time) but I must say Microsoft did a very good job with their network functionality as they improved the online experience on consoles in general! Because of this they pushed Sony to also finally invest in a good online experience on their consoles as this was really lacking in PS2 time!
