I chose Xbox. It was powerful, contained a hard drive (which was a first for consoles), had a surprising number of Japanese supporters, HDMI output, best versions of games (aside from PC), and brought some PC exclusives to the console market (Bioware games, Bethesda games, Doom 3, Counterstrike, etc). In all honesty, it seemed like a precursor for the type of western RPG games that would be so popular the next generation.
In addition, Halo, Crimson Skies, Mechassault, Jet Set Radio Future, Ninja Gaiden Black, Unreal Championship...it just had a lot of quality games. IMO, it is too bad the PS2 was such a beast because I feel if the OG Xbox would have sold more MS would have kept going for Japanese support.
