Are you talking about the OG Xbox?

Since that is where people would have been introduced to some of the games you list here as well as the birth place of Xbox Live online network, but it most certainly would not have been the place which had the best controller that generation, it would have been a distant 3rd with the OG Duke compared to the PS2's Dual Shock and the GC pad.

Xbox 360! I should have clarrified, I never owned an OG.

The original was a beast for it's day, a 750mhz CPU when the PS2 had a 333mhz one, Double the Ram of the PS2 and a 4-6GB HDD while the PS2 was using a 8MB memory card which cost almost €50 at the time, Tech wise it was next gen in comparison (it literally has a higher clock speed than the Wii from the following generation)

Also the original System had the ethernet adapter built into it and was certainly the first console I ever owned which allowed a OS upgrade from the one which the system launched with (Xbox Live disk or Halo 2 Added the new OS features of online)

But yeah the controller (at least the original) was dogshit compared to the rivals, the Controller-S fixed some issues, but still had 2 triggers and 6 face buttons instead of the 4/4 which most go with today.
