Even if you remove the first party titles and backwards compatible games the X1 has a vastly superior software lineup then the original Xbox just to prove my point I'm going to list some of the good and great 3rd party games you can play on the X1. You can play almost all the Assassins Creed games, the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy, Project Cars 1,2 and soon 3, Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, 10X, 12, 15 and maybe eventually 14 also, Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and soon Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 7, all the mainline Resident Evil games and the two RE revelations games, Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition, Tekken 7, Dead or Alive 6, Mortal Kombat X and 11, The Crew 1 and 2, The Witcher 3, all the Kingdom Hearts games, all the mainline Dead Rising games, Shenmue 1 and 2, vastly superior NBA 2K, Madden, FIFA and NHL games, Doom, Doom Eternal, Dirt Rally, Dirt Rally 2.0 and Dirt 4, all the Telltale games, Wreckfest, Farcry 3, 4 and 5, all the Borderlands games, all the Devil May cry games, Metal Gear Solid V, Burnout Paradise. I could list a lot more better known and lesser know third party titles but I proofed my point. The original X box was decent but it was nowhere near as good as the 360 or X1. It barely got supported with software for four years and thanks to a bad business deal between NVIDIA it was out of production before the 360 hit the store and Microsoft pretty much stop supporting it before the 360 arrived already.

I would personally trade every single game in that list for Fable, Halo and Morrowind, I am not to fussed about quantity. (I mean, I own pretty much every game you listed anyway.)
A few amazing games definitely trumps a few dozen good games, the Nintendo 64 isn't one of my favorite consoles because it has 50x good games, but it does have a couple of my absolute favorite games which I think are amazing.

Knights of the Old Republic, Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Jet Set Radio, Jade Empire, Crimson Skies, Beyond Good and Evil, Riddick, Doom, Half Life, FarCry, Splinter Cell, Blinx, Brothers in Arms, Ninja Gaidan, Gauntlet, Baldurs Gate was just icing on the cake for the OG Xbox, the OG Xbox didn't really have your typical yearly re-released games based on an established selling formula.

Sports games that get re-released on a yearly cadence and typically end up in the bargain bin after a few years for like $2 isn't a big selling point for me... Personal taste and all that though.

I could have listed a whole bunch of more titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 1, etc. etc.  The X1 beats the original X Box in quality and quantity no matter how you look at it as it easly should since it will get supported over twice as long.  The original X Box is barely better then the Dreamcast when it comes to consoles from that generation and it only got supported for two years.
