Then Xbox is a one-hit wonder with 360 and was in 3rd place. SEGA invented the 3D fighting game genre. Without it, Tekken doesn't exist. Seiichi Ishii worked on VF1 then went to Namco to direct Tekken 1-2. Panzer Dragoon. A genre that many games copied. It's the same with Space Harrier. Even Nintendo copied Space Harrier publishing Sin n Punishment. (tho the Wii game is best in the genre) Gears 2 has a Panzer Dragoon section. As did Darksiders. Clones. REZ. Edge of Skyhigh. EX Zeus. Burning Force. 3D World Runner. Panarama Cotton and more. Crash exists because of Sonic as well. The entire inspiration for the game was "Sonics ass" as Ruben put it. Xbox never invented a genre. Tho I give credit for popularizing the TPS and without Gears probably no VanQuish. SEGA had almost as many hardware innovations as Nintendo during that time. Just Nintendo was better at selling the idea and presenting an entire game/console around it as a general rule.
The only successful console was indeed Genesis/MD in the West but it wasn't a success in Japan. Saturn was. XBO sold 58 million. Great if it was the 90s. Poor of the modern era. XSX is barely above OG Xbox sales. It's weird how that works. OG Xbox is awesome no doubt. Tho Xbox is far more overrated. They bought their successful IPs aside from Flight Sim. and then drove them into the ground. Halo was in development for Apple Macs and a DC port was considered before MS bought Bungie.
