Forums - Gaming - Was the original Xbox the best Microsoft console?

360 was beast although I had much fun with the OG xbox.

Except for the high failure rate, the 360 was better. Better games and better controller.



Since it only had one Forza and zero JRPG's I have to say no.

I usually hear people say that the Xb360 was better.
The original Xbox had a much more diverse library compared to both the 360 and Xb1 though.


More diverse than 360? How would that work? I mean, this is only true if you put on special glasses that completely disregards all the diversity there is, mixing it with personal preference.

Not really since it had zero JRPG's plus some of the best games on the original Xbox made it to the 360.  Plus the overall library of the 360 is like over 10X the library of the original Xbox if you include all the indie and XBL arcade games so there is pretty much no way it had a more diverse library.

The Original Xbox was a good console and I remember playing Halo and Halo 2 over at my buddy's house when we were in college. I always had a PlayStation 2 so it was neat being able to experience Microsoft's first offering. I enjoyed my time with it but there was not much outside of Halo that interested me. Back then, Sony just had too much third party support for me to consider buying another console.

Although the original Xbox was really good, I would have to say the 360 was Microsoft's best. It just had so much going for it, including third party support, that the original never had.



The 360 is the best out of the three

360 is definitely the best and doubt even xb1 will beat it.



I loved The OG and 360. Haven't even played a xbox one yet and the OG and 360 were day one for me.



It was the best BUILT console but game wise 360 is way on top of it.
