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

Gran Turismo 4 did not natively render at 1080i, it still rendered at 480p. 

The original Xbox was capable of rendering natively at 720p at a time when HD televisions were rare (or didn't exist?). No other console at the time could do that. Definitely ahead of its time in that sense.

well this link shows 4 games displayed 1080i https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Turismo_4

and if you want to talk about resolution as being ahead of its time you could put 3 1080p monitors to play gt 5 for you that would be ahead of time?

Gran Turismo 4 still rendered internally at 480p when outputting to 1080i. Kind of like how you can set an Xbox 360 to output at 1080p when most games render at a lower resolution internally.

Having a system support an internal rendering resolution that wouldn't be mainstream for years is very much a feature that is ahead of its time.
