I'm surprised the Lems didn't post this. Instead, they're talking about the latest craze, the PS5 DualSense 😆 But anyway, congrats to MS on being 20 years in the business. They are a worthy competitor, but they still have worked to be done 😉 Thoughts, SW? Are you or have you been an Xbox fan or owner at some point? I've owned the original Xbox, the 360, and the One at certain points, but they never really grabbed my attention for long. I ended up selling them.

Thank you for evolving ruining FPS. Popularizing paid online by default. Ruining Peter Molyneux career by allowing him to speak and popularizing wall-cover as the norm in third person shooters.

Excellent contributions to the world.

Thank you.

Some gamer's just don't have a need to worship plastic boxes.

I know if this was a Playstation anniversary, this thread would be on page 10 by now.

This is what they've done to it in 20 years 🤢🤮Ever since they announced/released the Kinect around 09, that is when the Xbox as a whole was fked and it still hasn't recovered.

Owner of an OG Xbox. Trying to get my hands on a Series X -- to no avail. I'm admittedly more of a PlayStation fan. That stated, glad to have them in the console space as they do introduce new concepts and innovate while bringing value to the medium.

Sony is also responsible for the death of movie theaters.

No one goes to movie theaters anymore because Playstation makes profit off movie games. Honestly this is a big problem, both for video games and movies.

I was one to believe we keep our peas and our carrots separate, but Sony now does this shit:

I just can't take this witchcraft anymore.

Sony, please take your movies out of our video games, and put movie back where they belong.

Games are games, and movies are movies. Because of this weird combination, people don't go to theaters anymore and now they are dying. How does that feel, Sony.

STOP IT. Please.

You can help fix this problem, Sony. Get rid of movies in our games, and put them back in theaters. Sony shills will follow wherever the sacred cow goes, and if sacred cow is in theaters, Playstation fans will start supporting their local movie theaters again.

Hear me out, Sony, please, do it for the sake of cinema and video games.

No reason to go to movie theater when one can watch movies via streaming!!. or have netflix which is plus.

Movie theater cost waaay much money and its outdated in 2021. this is not 1978 where you have to go to theater to watch movie otherwise you cant.

@ghosts4ever: My friend,

You misunderstand, movie theaters are good. They cost a lot of money cause it makes us rich.

Sony is responsible for death of movie theaters, not Netflix.

As far as I can tell you, Netflix doesn't mix their vegetables. This is why theaters are going down under.

Has it been 20 years already? Damn, time flies. I was sceptical when the original Xbox first came out but after picking one up and getting a taste of Halo, Forza, Otogi 2, Ninja Gaiden, Guilty Gear X Reload, Dead or Alive, and other games I very quickly warmed up to what they were offering. Hopefully they celebrate this somehow with sales and what not. Anyway kudos to Microsoft and I look forward to many more years of great gaming with them in the future. 👍😁

Hard to believe they've been making consoles longer than SEGA did, feels unreal.

Got an Xbox 360 and an Xbox One X but I'm getting an OG Xbox next month and a Series X when I can.

Congrats Xbox.

Never owned an Xbox console. It never really attracted me since the beginning. Personally, over the past 20 years, Playstation and Nintendo offered better exclusives than Xbox.

Three out of 4 XBox consoles were the best of their gen: Original Xbox, 360, and XSX.

XB One was a disaster.

If you really want to see what a circle jerk looks like take a gander at posts #78 through 88 in this thread

I noticed it as a sale of select titles on the Xbox store, I thought about getting Lost Planet 2 for $3.99 because it looks like the online matchmaking still works so f*** yeah, I played it back when it released and got it for just $10 because it flopped both critically and commercially, but it was ahead of its time as a game meant to be played in online co-op. In its time this was unforgivable, now it's quite common. LP2 was also rather sloppy and unpolished on the QA side, a common problem with Capcom's games in later half of 7th gen that would carry into 8th gen. I never played LP3, people said it was bad, but they said that about LP2 too, so maybe I might just try it at $3.99.

Letting Bungie go was the biggest reason for the downfall of Xbox. Halo immediately fell off a cliff in both popularity and quality as soon as 343 took over. Regardless of what anyone thinks about it Destiny 2 is still one of the most popular games out there after 4 years and Bungie will always have a massive loyal fanbase that follows them anywhere.

Microsoft bet on the IP being too big to fail when in reality it was Bungie that was too big to fail.

@Pedro: that's the goalpost you're using now? It won't die? Low standards bro. By far the most redundant of the brands, no question. Will give it credit for raising the standards for online gaming though.

No Doubt about it.

Best in class, FPS, Halos, TPS, Gears, Racers, Forzas, and unique, never before seen gems like Sea of mofo Thieves, just to name a few.

From the bottom of mah bovine heart, thank you MS/Xbox, truly for the gamerzz... Jazz!!! :P

@dabear: Oh dear God I needed that laugh 😂, MS has been destroyed each and every gen, no question about it.

  • The Xbox was a more powerful console than the PS2, and spring boarded Xbox Live. It has significantly more power than the PS2. So much so, that the cow mantra at the time (and yes, I was there) was "I play games, not graphics. PS2 graphics are good enough."
  • The PS3 might have been slightly more powerful on paper, but the 360 had the better architecture (leading to "PC360 games"), outsold the PS3, and had the superior library (due to PC360).
  • The PS4 destroyed the XBox One on every level
  • The XSX is again the most powerful console of the generation. And, Xbox will see the fruits of their labor this gen with all the studio acquisitions they made last gen. I predict this gen will be a PS3 vs 360 all over again.

You can disagree with me on the PS5/XSX, but saying I am wrong about the Xbox v PS2 and 360 vs PS3 is just... fanboyism.

@dabear: PS2 had the better library of games, like it's not even close here. Its also the highest selling console of all time. PS2 win.

PS3 was more powerful, had a better library of games (much closer this time though), free online play and outsold the 360. PS3 win.

PS4 vs Xbone... 🤣 nuff said.

Again thanks for the 😂
