Incorrect, they wanted to create a console and then bully the competition and bribe the developers, just for the hell of it.

I thought we were talking about MS and not Sony.

The Xbox was created for two reasons...

1. For the bitches

2. For the lulz

The xbox was created to stop sony from dominating the gaming industry and the living room because it was a threat to PC/Microsoft this is a fact...

Halo was originally supposed to release on the MAC/PS2.
