Being the historian that I am, I didn't want or card for Xbox. I did keep up with it, though.
Anyway, the original Xbox was just to "get their foot in the door". It was the most powerful console and each one sold at a $100 loss at launch. It was all just to pave the way for the 360. I heard the criticisms then but I can understand why they wouldn't support a money loser for ten years. It only released a year before the Wii (and PS3) but anybody who owned a Gamecube will tell you that its last year was pretty sad.
