So how'd the original xbox do 

Time changed,  back then when Sony was MUCH BIGGER and the PS2 was just rekting everybody.

It wasnt even PS2 v. Xbox. More like PS2 v. Xbox/GCB/Dreamcast. But, the dominance of PS2 will never repeat as the xbox brand this time got a much larger fanbase and popularity over all than before.

Another factor is PC market & Smartphone market. At the time, gaming was very limited. It happen mostly on consoles and the PS2 was the "cool thing" for gaming like PC gaming of today. You get the biggest library of video games and the best of the West & East/Japanese Exclusives. Sony was also like Samsung of today, the biggest electronic company in the world.

And now, gaming is more diverse & bigger than ever, it's no longer mostly on consoles but instead, on PC and smartphones.

XB1 will likely get more 3rd party support than XB, but I highly doubt it'll sell more units than the first XBOX.

I predict 35 million max units sold before MS comes out with a successor.
