Well I remember buying mines for $700 at Toys R Us while in high school with my saved up money. I thought Halo's graphics looked stupid and ridiculous from the box art, but once me and my brother played that thing.....history was made. I became a life long Xbox fanboy after that lmao
I remember saving up enough money to buy it, only to go on Vacation. I was man I'm gonna miss out. My Aunt had me covered. She tells me she found a place where she's at that's selling it as a bundle with 3 games and an extra controller. I was like LETS GOOOOO! Was a great day!

Great video! Just a teeny tiny correction: when X360 released it didn't initially feature an HDMI port, it only had the Multi AV out. They added HDMI in the next minor revision (Zephyr motherboard) after hdtvs became more widespread
@@StratMatt777 The OG Xbox never had HDMI, period. It wasn't widely used during the OG Xbox's production run. It only really started to take off around v1.2 which released in 2005. The original Xbox was pretty much done by then. Even the 360 missed HDMI 1.2's adoption until, as mentioned, a system revision came with a 1.2 port in 2007. And @linoxyard - Just a teeny tiny correction: the AV only Xbox could actually do 1080p with a VGA adapter, plus, and I'm not 100% on this, I think the AV 360's do even output a full 1080p signal through component, it's just most TVs aren't capable of processing a 1080p via component signal. I think there are sets that can do 1080p over component but they are pretty scarce so the majority will simply display a 1080i picture when connected via that cable, but the AV Xbox 360 is capable of pushing 1080p over component and the cable itself has the ability to carry that 1080 progressive resolution.
@@tmacmc2984 Wow! Ok, I didn't know that. Back then it was a common assumption that you couldn't get 1080p through YPbPr component on X360, but I guess it was just a wrong belief. Maybe you couldn't initially and then they added in the capability through a firmware update?
Jelly dosent even know John your just a racist stop making fun of your black gay brother just because he is vegan isn’t a reason to bully him you clown

You're a great presenter. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. The title is an understatement given that you go beyond the Xbox. Congrats and I wish you success.
The fact that you carry all of your progress, your achievements, your purchased games, and can play your older titles on the series x is why I love Xbox. I also own a PS5 but feel like my older titles stayed on their respective platforms and the PS plus premium tier is a joke. Xbox has a fascinating story and I hope they keep making great games and mantaining such a comfortable and amazing platform for gamers.
Been binge watching your story of series. Gotta say well done. Takes me back down memory lane. Being born in 93 I grew up with xbox. So many fun times.
This video is a walk through time, truly amazing. Im still in awe that I won the Xbox Hall of Fame. Every game I ever played would not have mattered if I didn't win and take home the trophy. Thank you everybody for all the hard work and life changing experiences.
Thank you for making this as I don't have a scooby about Microsoft's X-BOX console. This will hopefully help me decide what ones of there consoles to buy.
My dad was, and still is a Playstation loyalists. Getting the original Xbox back in 6th grade was like my first act of rebellion. I got it with Stubbs, rebel without a pulse, and the original big controller with the black and white button down on the right side. Good times.
I was anti-Sony long before they joined the console races due to the shady dealings they've pulled for decades in music and movies and repeatedly trying to corner the market with a format monopoly. (Which they finally did with bluray and why movies are still so expensive) They even screwed the inventor of the Walkman, the whole _reason_ they became a household name. Sega never had a chance against Sony's cutthroat business tactics and paying developers like EA and Square to keep games off Sega's and Nintendo's systems. I still bought each PS eventually as I'm a gamer first and wanted the exclusives, but any time I had a choice I'd buy games on other platforms just because I hated supporting the company. Now that their exclusives are on PC I've had no reason to buy PS5. Fortunately I've never had to buy an Xbox either as MS aren't dicks about keeping games off PC.
I have Xbox. I have been recently playing Madden NFL 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and The Godfather The Game. Awesome console. I got rid of my original console that I bought in 2002. Luckily, a friend gave me his in 2008 and I have it to this day.
Hopefully you can find Forza Motorsports on ebay. You can find a code online that gives you a million dollars.... It's "T3amForza" or something similar to that. If you like Ferrari Testarossa, 288GTO, F40 and 550 Maranello, that is the game you want.
I've been gaming a long time. I remember first playing pong and space invaders as a kid. The two console releases that blew me away the most were probably the original Nes with Mario (although I loved and still have my Atari 2600) and the original xbox. Halo was awesome. I had played Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, Duke and Marathon amongst others before then but the experience of the Halo games with friends just felt like a game changer. The xbox just felt so much more powerful than the other consoles available. Better graphics, games ran smoother, you could save at any point with the Max Payne release where as you had to use checkpoints on PS2. As you essentially pointed out the online gaming just blew the competition out the water. These days it is all pc gaming now on home built rigs for me but I remember my console roots fondly and still own many of the classic systems. I have modern consoles but they are for the kids. Great video and walk down memory lane sir, thank you.
hey Kurt - (or anyone:), i was wondering if you could answer a question for me. i've got every Xbox along the way to my current one (xbox 1S). here's my question - is there any reason these days to not just go pc? i've always just bought the games on disc for my xbox because i'm off grid with no internet in alaska & idaho half the year (i'm a guide/outfitter). these days can you play every title imaginary on a pc setup? is it possible to load pretty much any game on said pc/laptop hardrive and play off-line/off grid? sorry for all the slightly newbie to pc gaming questions, i could probably ask a million different people but your post really hit me. i must be a similar age cuz i too remember pong when i was really young & also remember going on vacation to hawaii with my parents in 1979 and spending more time in the hotel lobby playing space invaders than going to the beach hahahahaha. my favorite arcade game of all time was asteroids though... i liked it better than invaders then, and i'd rather play it now:))) -thanks heaps Kurt.
@@8barbies779 Hey m8, I built my first pc about 7 years ago and never looked back. Have had consoles since but they have been for the kids. The amount of games on pc dwarfs the consoles. You also have the steam platform available with hundreds of free to play games and regular sales of up to 60, 70 even 80% off games. Even recent ones. Game back catalogues are not really an issue as you do not need backwards compatability. There are also emulators that allow you to play older console games like the Mario collection etc. On my steam account there are about 270 purchased games. The majority can be played offline but there are games that can't. If you like shooters keyboard and mouse offers a significant performance upgrade in moving and aiming speed. If not just use an xbox pad. If you can make the switch to a pc/decent laptop I can't recommend it enough. Hope this helps sir 👍
@@8barbies779 Oh and there is also the massive improvements in graphics, framerates and general performance if you get a decent one. Microsoft also have an xbox app that gives you access to a lot of xbox titles and I think the games pass.
It's strange, I will always hate windows, that OS has let me down so many times, yet I absolutely love Xbox and will probably always prefer Xbox over PlayStation.
It's strange, I will always hate windows, that OS has let me down so many times, and i absolutely love Playstation and will always refer Playstation over Xbox.
Great video. I really enjoy tech history. Small correction 👍 - Original 360 didn't have a HDMI port. HDMI was really rare at launch & came later. It delivered HD resolutions over component originally. I had ours hooked up to 50" Sony Rear Projection HDTV. Complete with HD DVD add on later 😎. For all my friends, it was their first time to see HD games & movies at home.
Don Mattrick a former *EA* executive led the Xbox One. I just realized this may have been the massive influence to the whole 'Xbox always online' requirement. Microsoft were not completely innocent in all this, but the stench of E.A. didn't help matters much.
Don mattrick completely stomped on all the momentum the 360 built up in one giant swoop. The dude just gave the keys to Sony and then was fired. Xbox has been slowly picking up the pieces and trying to change consumers minds. Them buying up all the studios shows that they're minds are in it now. They know they can't rely on gears, halo, and forza anymore. They need to stop being so hands off when they buy studios though. You can't just buy studios then just leave them to do whatever they need some Kin of road map or guidance. Like if I was a ceo all the funding that the halo devs have would be cut, all that funding would go to id software and arkane studios for 2 new ips. Another scifi game from arkane and whatever id wants to make. I'd get the evil within devs that they own also to make a new third person shooter horror game.
This video is absolutely tremendous. I recently bought a crystal OG Xbox from ebay, never been used. Still even had the plastic stickers on the console lol. Building my library of games up again. This video has given me such great memories and nostalgia. Great stuff
Sony fans tend to forget ms stepped in late, and still took half the market, while discussing how they won't take more post zenimax acquisition. 23>6 but still.. NO GAMES! Lol I love the console wars. Its tragically irrelevant while the world crumbles around us. Into the void we go.
@Lester Dale O'riley I remember playing code Veronica on the Dreamcast. Loved that game! But it’s sort of pales in comparison next to the newer resident evil games.But back then, awesome!
@@markdupree9352 Uhh... am I reading that right? Would you trade in your 1080 P and go back to SD? I sure as heck wouldn’t trade in my 4K and go back to 1080 P.
I don't understand the original comment. What "half the market" are you talking about? The PS2 sold 155 million units while the OG Xbox sold about 22 million. That's about 15% of the market. I suppose you're talking about the Xbox 360 then? But even in that case, Microsoft lost its share as soon as the 8th generation started and they haven't been close to regaining it any point so far. It makes no sense no matter how I look at it. Either way, crying about what console is better and which of the fans are worse is a pretty stupid thing to do to begin with.
I went from dreamcast to xbox... it just felt right. I still have a soft spot for the xbox brand today as it always felt like a spiritual successor to sega when they left the console market
Today, Microsoft Gaming/Xbox is the greatest consumer friendly company of all time. Any Sony fanboys that try to trash its brand or its consoles should be a shame of themselves. Long live Phil Spencer!💚
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I owned all Xbox consoles and now I'm a proud owner of a Series X. I thought I knew a lot about Xbox, now I know even more. You earned a new subscriber.
I've owned all the Xbox as well. I was 12 when I got the original one. The hype to get the first one was so great, nothing beats the feeling of new console generation, specially at that time when they took major leaps. I even traded my xbox one to xbox one X. Havent yet got series X because of that, oneX is good enough for some time more. The seriesX came only two years or so after oneX so its too fast for me. Never going to play on other manufacturers console, if they stop making consoles ill be playing only on Windows/Linux
@@ruslansalei3259 I had a One S and needed a better and faster Xbox I also had a PS4 but never liked it as much as Xbox although they had some great games like Bloodborne, Horizon zero dawn and the Last of us
15:40 Had to pause the video right here just to praise the Morrowind OST/the theme you have backing this portion of your video, and to thank you for including it so that the wistful nostalgia could unexpectedly start flowing within me once again ❤ EDIT: Oh, and fyi the founders of Bungie were Jason Jones and Alex Seropian, not Seroplan.
39:29 This is false. Xbox 360 did NOT launch with an HDMI Port. The only connector port was the Proprietary one, and the console came with the standard AV Cables. You had to buy Component Cables separately in order to utilize the HD Capabilities.
Yea I remember getting an Xbox 360 on day one and hooking it up thinking “what the hell, this doesn’t look all that different from Xbox/PS2.” Took me a couple months to realize I had to buy separate cables.
Look at this guy trying to nitpick 10 seconds out of an hour video. Instead you should praise all the good in it which outweighs one tiny mistake you toxic sissy
It has a 71 percent on metacritic from professional critics. A lot of reviewers considered 70s good or average back then. Usually around that time 50 was mediocre. Which is confusing since average and mediocre are used interchangeably in movie reviews. But game reviews used different terminology.
Excellent video. Informative and right to the point with a little bit of backstory and information about the Xbox competition at the time. Keep up the good work. I'd love to see an in depth story about the Sega Master System. Thumbs up and subscribed.
I remember buying the original Xbox with my brother on 11-17-2001, two days after launch. I still have the receipt and the Xbox. The first three games we got were Project Gotham, Dead or Alive 3 and Max Payne.
Halo on PC had online play but I remember we used to rent a space in a cafeteria in Netherlands, put 4 tvs and 4 xbox together and play tournaments. AHH those were the days. In Netherlands we had broadband since 2000 but really took off in 2001. The xbox was released there in 2002.
I happened to find an original Xbox at a local charity shop several years ago. It did not have controllers, but it did have the AV and Power cables, and it only cost $8AU. I purchased it, and checked it out, and it still worked perfectly!
The original 360s didn't have HDMI ports when it came out in 2005, mate. Neither the Core nor the Pro sets. Only came over a year later, on the 2nd edition Pro and the Arcade models.
@@TheIrkenEmpire420 Incorrect. The original 360 came with a component cable perfectly suitable for 720p/1080i. The real original non-360 black box, however, did require an optional cable for HD tho.
Halo 2 ,Wolfenstein , fantasy star online , unreal tournament, mech game (forget the name) all great og xbox live games. So many great memories playing those games.
I starting getting into computer coding as well has hacking and stuff like that which ultimately got me into the history of computers, now the history of video games. I loved this video!
I noticed there was one detail left out the original xbox was 1 of the 1st consoles to allow you to rip your music on to the console and play your music while playing your game
I'm more of a Nintendo guy and ironically I'm also more of a PC guy as well as I used to play a lot of different RTS games as a teenager back in the 2000s, but anyways I do appreciate that the Xbox has helped push the envelope just like the PlayStation has and even the Sega did back in the 90s. I also have to point out that I just realized something really cool. I'm using Waze to give me directions as I listen to this video and Waze back in November I think added Master Chief as a voice to give you directions. Awesome to be listening to his voice give me directions as I listen to you talk about Xbox
I love OG xbox, my second favourite console after ps2 (ps2 wins because of it's amazing library). There are so many great and diverese titles, many of them very unique. I have modern consoles, but there is something about 6th gen that makes me most interested in that period. The video was great, subbed :)
Wow dude. What a video. Amazing. The initial vision and launch for the Xbox and later the 360 was incredible. I'm so grateful to have lived through those years. Unfortunately, it all went sideways with xbox one. I don't know what happened to the company. And to be fair, i think gaming has gone backwards in so many ways since then. Maybe im just old haha.
Sega biggest mistake was not being partners with Sony before the first PlayStation came out and to think it would of been known as the sega PlayStation!
The xbox is basically the spiritual successor of the Dreamscast. So Sega isn't really dead in gaming, and Sega games are great like virtua fighter, they release the games in other systems, which is more than Nintendo does by keeping the games defunct to their original console so giving the customers no way of playing the games unless they own the console
Sega also had the opportunity to partner with Sony but sega of japan decline the offer due to Sony not having any experience making hardware at the time!
This was a really great video, and a great retrospective on the original Xbox. Just 1 minor correction. At 39:30, it is mentioned that the 360 would include HDMI. While true on later revisions, I don't believe the launch model had HDMI.
Something that really stood out for me was the part, and quote "The bases for the system, was to put the the DEVELOPERS FIRST, so that they could create the ART THEY WANTED." That's definitely something I truly believe is drastically lacking of current Era of the triple A video games. 😮💨😔😒
During the original XBox market life, I only had enough to buy one console thus I never had an XBox because I was dedicated to the Nintendo GameCube. That was what my life was during my teenage years as I only had enough from helping my parents out and getting pocket money just to buy one console and 1 or 2 new games during each of my School Holidays. XBox was a console I found games I would have loved to buy if only I had enough to get more than one console. As soon as the XBox 360 was released, I got Kameo Elements of Power so I could have the game and get the XBox360 a few years later to play it once I had the money to get more than one system. Also got Dead or Alive 4 and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 the Beach Volleyball and relaxing holiday game. JRPGs like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey that were XBox 360 Exclusives as well as initial releases of Star Ocean: Last Hope as well as Tales of Vesparia that were originally XBox exclusives but released later on the PS3. Even if there were games I wanted on the original XBox like Conker Live and Reloaded, I felt that the XBox 360 was a better choice in the long run and I was happy to wait until I was in my 20s before I owned more than one console at a time in a console generation. But the original XBox was always a console I could have had, if only I had enough money to own more than one console at a time.
I got one for Christmas 2005 along with Halo 2, Battlefield Modern Combat 2 and a year subscription to Xbox Live that created some of the best years of gaming in my life and now I own a Xbox Series X and my love for Microsoft keeps growing
The kinect wasn't bad, you didn't know how to use it properly or you have a herd mentality and you're repeating what d*** youtubers say against the kinect just to get views. Both Microsoft, Sony and nintendo were using motion technology in that time because neither want to be left behind in the market trend, all three systems were good in their own way. The Kinect came for free bundled with the console, you don't have to use it you know it's not like all xbox games require the kinect to be played. yet d***as**s like to create drama and insult other people for no reason just to create stupid drama. Any person that talks shit about the kinect is like that and they need to grow up
Great video! I can remember buying the first Xbox bundled with that great Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic. Yes that old system was terrific, and I wish I still had it. Oh wait, I can play it on the Series X! Forgot that minor detail.
@@joebiggs4387 I was already playing it on my Xbox One X before i switched to Series X. Its in 4K mode with 60fps most of the time since its enhanced backwards compatibility. But it doesnt have a fullscreen mode.
@@megadrive11 also, any other original Xbox games that have been upgraded or updated to 4K? See I thought it would just be Xbox one games that were improved for the series X.

@@JediGamingX Seeing Samsung's tendencies towards names, I would rather bet on something like Samsung Ceres X, but it could end up with a lawsuit from Microsoft.
It’s so hard to watch videos about the original Xbox. It’s just such a marker of my life. I was 13 and had my entire life in front of me. The sleek green cases for the games that sported the orange “Xbox live” stripe and the coveted yellow “ONLY FOR XBOX” stamp. Me and my younger brother played halo for hours a day for a long time. Then came halo 2 which took me into online gaming for the first time. Then halo 3… then I joined the military… then my brother joined… and then all the sudden it’s 20 years later and I’m married with 5 children. Where does the time go? I’ll always thank the team who made Xbox a possible for the countless memories. Pitiful me to see the state of Xbox now.

I think there are sets that can do 1080p over component but they are pretty scarce so the majority will simply display a 1080i picture when connected via that cable, but the AV Xbox 360 is capable of pushing 1080p over component and the cable itself has the ability to carry that 1080 progressive resolution.
@@tmacmc2984 the og xbox looks amazing wit internal hdmi mods. I believe it taps into the vga out feature.
I used to use a vga cable to play my 360 at 720p on a CRT monitor. It was impressive back then
@@tmacmc2984 Wow! Ok, I didn't know that. Back then it was a common assumption that you couldn't get 1080p through YPbPr component on X360, but I guess it was just a wrong belief. Maybe you couldn't initially and then they added in the capability through a firmware update?

You're a great presenter. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. The title is an understatement given that you go beyond the Xbox. Congrats and I wish you success.
The fact that you carry all of your progress, your achievements, your purchased games, and can play your older titles on the series x is why I love Xbox. I also own a PS5 but feel like my older titles stayed on their respective platforms and the PS plus premium tier is a joke. Xbox has a fascinating story and I hope they keep making great games and mantaining such a comfortable and amazing platform for gamers.

Thank you for making this as I don't have a scooby about Microsoft's X-BOX console. This will hopefully help me decide what ones of there consoles to buy.
Few people look as naturally smug and pompous as Don Mattrick
Lmao
Except Gates has the IQ to back up the arrogance. By all accounts, he's a _brilliant_ jerk.
Such a punchable face. What were Microsoft thinking making HIM the face of Microsoft?
My dad was, and still is a Playstation loyalists. Getting the original Xbox back in 6th grade was like my first act of rebellion. I got it with Stubbs, rebel without a pulse, and the original big controller with the black and white button down on the right side. Good times.
I was anti-Sony long before they joined the console races due to the shady dealings they've pulled for decades in music and movies and repeatedly trying to corner the market with a format monopoly. (Which they finally did with bluray and why movies are still so expensive) They even screwed the inventor of the Walkman, the whole _reason_ they became a household name. Sega never had a chance against Sony's cutthroat business tactics and paying developers like EA and Square to keep games off Sega's and Nintendo's systems.
I still bought each PS eventually as I'm a gamer first and wanted the exclusives, but any time I had a choice I'd buy games on other platforms just because I hated supporting the company. Now that their exclusives are on PC I've had no reason to buy PS5. Fortunately I've never had to buy an Xbox either as MS aren't dicks about keeping games off PC.
youtube algorithm win...enjoyed the vid, subbed....looking forward to more of your content!
I think I saw a young Paul Rudd in the Super Nintendo commercial
Yep, funny stuff
You did
I have Xbox. I have been recently playing Madden NFL 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and The Godfather The Game. Awesome console. I got rid of my original console that I bought in 2002. Luckily, a friend gave me his in 2008 and I have it to this day.
Hopefully you can find Forza Motorsports on ebay. You can find a code online that gives you a million dollars.... It's "T3amForza" or something similar to that. If you like Ferrari Testarossa, 288GTO, F40 and 550 Maranello, that is the game you want.
I've been gaming a long time. I remember first playing pong and space invaders as a kid. The two console releases that blew me away the most were probably the original Nes with Mario (although I loved and still have my Atari 2600) and the original xbox.
Halo was awesome. I had played Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, Duke and Marathon amongst others before then but the experience of the Halo games with friends just felt like a game changer. The xbox just felt so much more powerful than the other consoles available. Better graphics, games ran smoother, you could save at any point with the Max Payne release where as you had to use checkpoints on PS2. As you essentially pointed out the online gaming just blew the competition out the water.
These days it is all pc gaming now on home built rigs for me but I remember my console roots fondly and still own many of the classic systems. I have modern consoles but they are for the kids.
Great video and walk down memory lane sir, thank you.
hey Kurt - (or anyone:), i was wondering if you could answer a question for me. i've got every Xbox along the way to my current one (xbox 1S). here's my question - is there any reason these days to not just go pc? i've always just bought the games on disc for my xbox because i'm off grid with no internet in alaska & idaho half the year (i'm a guide/outfitter). these days can you play every title imaginary on a pc setup? is it possible to load pretty much any game on said pc/laptop hardrive and play off-line/off grid? sorry for all the slightly newbie to pc gaming questions, i could probably ask a million different people but your post really hit me. i must be a similar age cuz i too remember pong when i was really young & also remember going on vacation to hawaii with my parents in 1979 and spending more time in the hotel lobby playing space invaders than going to the beach hahahahaha. my favorite arcade game of all time was asteroids though... i liked it better than invaders then, and i'd rather play it now:))) -thanks heaps Kurt.
@@8barbies779 Hey m8, I built my first pc about 7 years ago and never looked back. Have had consoles since but they have been for the kids.
The amount of games on pc dwarfs the consoles. You also have the steam platform available with hundreds of free to play games and regular sales of up to 60, 70 even 80% off games. Even recent ones.
Game back catalogues are not really an issue as you do not need backwards compatability. There are also emulators that allow you to play older console games like the Mario collection etc.
On my steam account there are about 270 purchased games. The majority can be played offline but there are games that can't.
If you like shooters keyboard and mouse offers a significant performance upgrade in moving and aiming speed. If not just use an xbox pad.
If you can make the switch to a pc/decent laptop I can't recommend it enough.
Hope this helps sir 👍
@@8barbies779 Oh and there is also the massive improvements in graphics, framerates and general performance if you get a decent one.
Microsoft also have an xbox app that gives you access to a lot of xbox titles and I think the games pass.

The soundtrack is actually from Morrowind and yeah its great

I found this history well done indeed. I actually had many of these consoles. I loved my Dreamcast. Didn’t remember it having such a short life.
Great video. I really enjoy tech history. Small correction 👍 - Original 360 didn't have a HDMI port. HDMI was really rare at launch & came later. It delivered HD resolutions over component originally. I had ours hooked up to 50" Sony Rear Projection HDTV. Complete with HD DVD add on later 😎. For all my friends, it was their first time to see HD games & movies at home.
Don Mattrick a former *EA* executive led the Xbox One.
I just realized this may have been the massive influence to the whole 'Xbox always online' requirement.
Microsoft were not completely innocent in all this, but the stench of E.A. didn't help matters much.
Bro.... thats the same don mattrick?? 😲 it all makes sense now. Thank you.
I never thought about it this way holy shit
Don mattrick completely stomped on all the momentum the 360 built up in one giant swoop. The dude just gave the keys to Sony and then was fired. Xbox has been slowly picking up the pieces and trying to change consumers minds. Them buying up all the studios shows that they're minds are in it now. They know they can't rely on gears, halo, and forza anymore. They need to stop being so hands off when they buy studios though. You can't just buy studios then just leave them to do whatever they need some Kin of road map or guidance. Like if I was a ceo all the funding that the halo devs have would be cut, all that funding would go to id software and arkane studios for 2 new ips. Another scifi game from arkane and whatever id wants to make. I'd get the evil within devs that they own also to make a new third person shooter horror game.
This video is absolutely tremendous.
I recently bought a crystal OG Xbox from ebay, never been used. Still even had the plastic stickers on the console lol. Building my library of games up again. This video has given me such great memories and nostalgia. Great stuff

Haha agreed. Crazy how people can get tunnel vision so bad, that they think the difference between certain resolutions in games is such a big deal...

@@markdupree9352 Uhh... am I reading that right? Would you trade in your 1080 P and go back to SD? I sure as heck wouldn’t trade in my 4K and go back to 1080 P.
I don't understand the original comment. What "half the market" are you talking about? The PS2 sold 155 million units while the OG Xbox sold about 22 million. That's about 15% of the market. I suppose you're talking about the Xbox 360 then? But even in that case, Microsoft lost its share as soon as the 8th generation started and they haven't been close to regaining it any point so far. It makes no sense no matter how I look at it. Either way, crying about what console is better and which of the fans are worse is a pretty stupid thing to do to begin with.
I went from dreamcast to xbox... it just felt right. I still have a soft spot for the xbox brand today as it always felt like a spiritual successor to sega when they left the console market
Yeah kinda, they were better for a few generations, had a stumble, then got better than the competition again

I've owned all the Xbox as well. I was 12 when I got the original one. The hype to get the first one was so great, nothing beats the feeling of new console generation, specially at that time when they took major leaps. I even traded my xbox one to xbox one X. Havent yet got series X because of that, oneX is good enough for some time more. The seriesX came only two years or so after oneX so its too fast for me.

@@DoubleDog did you get it? Oh and you can actually buy a fridge. They really decided to make a fridge.

EDIT: Oh, and fyi the founders of Bungie were Jason Jones and Alex Seropian, not Seroplan.
39:29 This is false. Xbox 360 did NOT launch with an HDMI Port. The only connector port was the Proprietary one, and the console came with the standard AV Cables. You had to buy Component Cables separately in order to utilize the HD Capabilities.
Yea I remember getting an Xbox 360 on day one and hooking it up thinking “what the hell, this doesn’t look all that different from Xbox/PS2.” Took me a couple months to realize I had to buy separate cables.

@@shutupboyyy the guy is right, so, he's point is valid, that's how you look at the point, not like everyone else...
the xbox 360 didn't have wifi conectivity at lauch ethier you had to buy a dongle
And it pissed me off too.
I am fucking pissed that you don't have more subscribers. You make quality content and actually have information other niche nerds would LOVE to hear.
I don’t recall Blinx getting “Mediocre” reviews, I recall 8.5 or 9 or 9.5s across the board. Also you don’t have to be a kid to play it and enjoy it!
It has a 71 percent on metacritic from professional critics. A lot of reviewers considered 70s good or average back then. Usually around that time 50 was mediocre. Which is confusing since average and mediocre are used interchangeably in movie reviews. But game reviews used different terminology.
I have sooo many great memories playing the OG Xbox. Fond memories i will have for the rest of my life
You really deserve to be more popular this is a damn good and very well edited video👍
Excellent video. Informative and right to the point with a little bit of backstory and information about the Xbox competition at the time. Keep up the good work. I'd love to see an in depth story about the Sega Master System. Thumbs up and subscribed.
The launch Xbox 360 did not have an HDMI port. The later models however did have HDMI.
I remember buying the original Xbox with my brother on 11-17-2001, two days after launch. I still have the receipt and the Xbox. The first three games we got were Project Gotham, Dead or Alive 3 and Max Payne.
Halo on PC had online play but I remember we used to rent a space in a cafeteria in Netherlands, put 4 tvs and 4 xbox together and play tournaments. AHH those were the days.
In Netherlands we had broadband since 2000 but really took off in 2001. The xbox was released there in 2002.
Man sometimes I wish I could re-live those memories of Halo parties and then come right back to the present...
I happened to find an original Xbox at a local charity shop several years ago. It did not have controllers, but it did have the AV and Power cables, and it only cost $8AU. I purchased it, and checked it out, and it still worked perfectly!
I can recommend the book 'Opening the XBox'. All about the original XBox and its development. A really good read.
I read a portion of it before making this video. Sadly there aren't very many books about the Xbox's history compared to Nintendo or Atari.

The original 360s didn't have HDMI ports when it came out in 2005, mate. Neither the Core nor the Pro sets. Only came over a year later, on the 2nd edition Pro and the Arcade models.
You had to get an HD AV cable if you wanted to play it in HD.
@@TheIrkenEmpire420 Incorrect. The original 360 came with a component cable perfectly suitable for 720p/1080i. The real original non-360 black box, however, did require an optional cable for HD tho.
@@FrancoisRoy wrong the elite had hdmi
@@haloepic3092 There was no Elite model at launch; only Pro and Core. Elite came at least 2 years later.
@@FrancoisRoy nah. Mine came with the standard Red, yellow, and white cables. Had to buy the HD cables separately

Best video ever this is exactly what I love watching
I noticed there was one detail left out the original xbox was 1 of the 1st consoles to allow you to rip your music on to the console and play your music while playing your game
Does anyone know where I can find the full 2001 xbox presentation?
itachi hilarious 😑
Dope documentary. Og Xbox is my favorite console of all time and Ninja Gaiden is my favorite game.
oh man I remember Halo like it was yesterday
And Sony trying to beat it with Killzone...
I'm more of a Nintendo guy and ironically I'm also more of a PC guy as well as I used to play a lot of different RTS games as a teenager back in the 2000s, but anyways I do appreciate that the Xbox has helped push the envelope just like the PlayStation has and even the Sega did back in the 90s. I also have to point out that I just realized something really cool. I'm using Waze to give me directions as I listen to this video and Waze back in November I think added Master Chief as a voice to give you directions. Awesome to be listening to his voice give me directions as I listen to you talk about Xbox
I love OG xbox, my second favourite console after ps2 (ps2 wins because of it's amazing library). There are so many great and diverese titles, many of them very unique. I have modern consoles, but there is something about 6th gen that makes me most interested in that period. The video was great, subbed :)
The 6th Gen consoles are easily my favorites. Best consoles along with some truly amazing games.
Wow dude. What a video. Amazing.
The initial vision and launch for the Xbox and later the 360 was incredible. I'm so grateful to have lived through those years. Unfortunately, it all went sideways with xbox one. I don't know what happened to the company. And to be fair, i think gaming has gone backwards in so many ways since then. Maybe im just old haha.
Sega biggest mistake was not being partners with Sony before the first PlayStation came out and to think it would of been known as the sega PlayStation!
What would the gaming scene look like today? Wow
The xbox is basically the spiritual successor of the Dreamscast. So Sega isn't really dead in gaming, and Sega games are great like virtua fighter, they release the games in other systems, which is more than Nintendo does by keeping the games defunct to their original console so giving the customers no way of playing the games unless they own the console
You mean nintendo!?? Not Sega
@@Foko851 Sony was going to partner with Nintendo for a console but Nintendo pulled out, so Sony launched the PS1
Sega also had the opportunity to partner with Sony but sega of japan decline the offer due to Sony not having any experience making hardware at the time!
This was a really great video, and a great retrospective on the original Xbox.
Just 1 minor correction. At 39:30, it is mentioned that the 360 would include HDMI. While true on later revisions, I don't believe the launch model had HDMI.
How could you leave out Splinter Cell out, that game was amazing, revolutionary and a seller.
Something that really stood out for me was the part, and quote "The bases for the system, was to put the the DEVELOPERS FIRST, so that they could create the ART THEY WANTED."
That's definitely something I truly believe is drastically lacking of current Era of the triple A video games. 😮💨😔😒
The Xbox original always like a Dreamcast “Pro” edition of today’s time to me.
Soooo Thank you Jurassic Park Trespasser; You've done more for gaming than you know XD

During the original XBox market life, I only had enough to buy one console thus I never had an XBox because I was dedicated to the Nintendo GameCube.
That was what my life was during my teenage years as I only had enough from helping my parents out and getting pocket money just to buy one console and 1 or 2 new games during each of my School Holidays.
XBox was a console I found games I would have loved to buy if only I had enough to get more than one console.
As soon as the XBox 360 was released, I got Kameo Elements of Power so I could have the game and get the XBox360 a few years later to play it once I had the money to get more than one system.
Also got Dead or Alive 4 and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 the Beach Volleyball and relaxing holiday game.
JRPGs like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey that were XBox 360 Exclusives as well as initial releases of Star Ocean: Last Hope as well as Tales of Vesparia that were originally XBox exclusives but released later on the PS3.
Even if there were games I wanted on the original XBox like Conker Live and Reloaded, I felt that the XBox 360 was a better choice in the long run and I was happy to wait until I was in my 20s before I owned more than one console at a time in a console generation.
But the original XBox was always a console I could have had, if only I had enough money to own more than one console at a time.
Noice
Very nice video man. Lots of cool shit I didnt know about.
the dreamcast was the greatest system of all time....it had everything.........now the series x is the greatest

It’s so hard to watch videos about the original Xbox. It’s just such a marker of my life. I was 13 and had my entire life in front of me. The sleek green cases for the games that sported the orange “Xbox live” stripe and the coveted yellow “ONLY FOR XBOX” stamp. Me and my younger brother played halo for hours a day for a long time. Then came halo 2 which took me into online gaming for the first time. Then halo 3… then I joined the military… then my brother joined… and then all the sudden it’s 20 years later and I’m married with 5 children. Where does the time go? I’ll always thank the team who made Xbox a possible for the countless memories. Pitiful me to see the state of Xbox now.
thank yo so much for history on consoles i now have gained one brain cell for gaming
I couldn't pick just one console from that generation. Loved 'em all.
