Remembering the Xbox - 10 Years

Nick, Julian, and Esteban explore the notable games and lasting impact of the Xbox.

Back in late 2001, Microsoft first entered the realm of console gaming with the Xbox. Although its sales numbers are nothing impressive when compared to that of the PlayStation 2, it did manage to outsell longtime videogame company Nintendo's GameCube, which is still a fine showing for a first console outing. Despite being a massive financial loss for the company, it laid the groundwork for much of what is now standard in the gaming industry.
