Things Xbox does well as a console platform

Speaking of hardware, one thing I think they do pretty well for the most part is engineering.

Yeah the RROD was a fuckup and the base Xbone and Series S were arguably a bit underpowered, but the OG Xbox, 360, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X were very powerful for their time and that power was easy to harness.

The One X in particular really impresses me since just a year later and not only did they make it significantly smaller than the PS4 Pro, they somehow made it a little smaller than the One S without causing any issues despite it being way more powerful.

Yeah the One X doesn't get enough credit IMO for how good a piece of hardware it is. It's a shame they didn't bother this gen with the Series, but then again, looking at the sales, such an investment probably just wasn't worth it to them.
