Original Xbox or Xbox One?

Okay, you misunderstood. That's why I said Skyrim is an Xbox One game but not Oblivion.

I wouldn't class Skyrim as an Xbox One game anymore than Halo: Combat evolved is an Xbox One game.
They were released years before the Xbox One existed as a device, both games got ported and enhanced on the Xbox One... But the fervor for those titles had waned by the time those re-releases happened... The story known, the world explored, the DLC released.

Again, in my mind comparing consoles should simply mean comparing libraries. Your argument is more about impact on the industry and nostalgia.

Comparing libraries is what I am doing.
But you also need to compare the fundamental technical underpinnings.

And you also need to compare the competition. I.E. Halo was leading the industry in game design and hype in the OG Xbox days, not following it like with Halo 5 and the Xbox One.

You need to account for *everything* and not just what an individual thinks is or isn't important in order to forward their own argument.

I am not denying MCC campaigns had bugs. It just wasn't a broken mess and arguably still a better experience than previous gen versions thanks to better presentation and smoother performance. But again, MCC is a great product now and its still very active.

Again... I have already refuted this prior in another thread with empirical evidence, clearly you aren't going to change your mind on this, so I would rather not waste my time in trying.

The Master Chief Collection still has issues today, even on the PC release.

The Multiplayer population is non-existent in Oceania, you are better off playing Halo 5 instead.

And again, if you ask me which console was better I look at the libraries. If you asked me which had a bigger impact on gaming in a period where developers were more experimental, I would likely say OG Xbox.

Every facet is important in it's consideration, not just a couple of cherry picked aspects.

I consider any ports part of the library.

I hear ya, but if we're comparing consoles I look at their libraries. Hence, library vs library. The newer console isn't always the superior platform by that standard either. But by that standard, I feel Xbox One is vastly superior thanks to a much more robust library of notable content.

I am not arguing MCC is perfect, but its still easier to recommend than the original releases.

That sucks if you live in Oceania.

I'm not cherry picking, I'm looking at the entire library of both platforms. That makes it easy for me to say Xbox One.
