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

I'm quite mixed on the original Xbox, it had a better build quality but I didn't find the library too interesting compared to the PS2/GC/DC. Eventually the 360 sorted out the hardware issues with the S and the library of games which much larger and more varied. At least for now my vote goes for the 360.

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

I agree with this



i loved my xbox more than my ps2 it was definatly better built, both console and controller were solid



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Only hardware wise, but that is Sega's merit.



Original Xbox = pure awesome... kinda miss mine

OG Xbox is criminally underrated both for the hardware and its library of games which is surprisingly diverse and features many top quality games when you dig a little deeper into it beyond the usual suspects like Halo, GTA, Fable etc.

But the 360 is hands down the best M$ console, even with its early RROD issues. It featured the best controller and best online experience on consoles at the time to go along with its vast 3rd party library.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Daaaaamn, you take well care of your consoles sir. That Xbox looks like new!



I didn't own one but it definitely offered some features I was jealous of. I used to look at it as some console from the future. I'd hear about what people were doing in Xbox country and dream.

I did finally play one and I bad mouthed it so hard that the kid who owned it traded it in for a GBA, Castlevania, and Legacy of Goku. I still feel bad about that.



Well the xbox 360 i one of the best consoles of all time so no.

I keep hearing all of this "360 was better" stuff... Yet I clearly remember nearly every 360 I had burning out with red rings, where both of my Xboxes still work flawlessly. Plus, 360 didn't have kotor.


I guess you never owed a 360 S got mine in the fall of 2010 still works perfectly.
