Title: Is Xbox Microsoft's worst console ever?
Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 07, 2016, 11:07:39 AM: Eh, why the hell not.

Anyway, to answer my own question: yes. It had all the power to make some really impressive-looking games (see Chronicles of Riddick - absolutely amazing for its time), but it was a gigantic, heavy box and no one really had any faith in Microsoft at the time. If the GTA series wasn't exclusive to Sony for as long as it was though, Xbox probably would have sold a lot better.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on February 09, 2016, 07:40:10 PM: No, you cannot make the case for Xbone being the worst, at all. The only acceptable answer is the original Xbox.

A 3 way tie for the worst!

Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on February 10, 2016, 08:58:42 PM: Windows 95 was awesome, had more games than Wii U anyways...

Because the 360 after the red ring was fixed was great.

Fixed. Well, I don't know about great...

Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on February 25, 2016, 11:31:41 AM: I have never owned any Xbox consoles to be honest. I have been tempted to get a 360 just for the backlog but then I look at the games I want and they are all on PS3, which I have, so I think why bother.

Post by: Soren on February 25, 2016, 11:49:17 AM: All Gamestop stores are closing down in Puerto Rico. In the ensuing firesale the only consoles remaining on shelves right now are Xbox One and a few used 360s. There are still walls full of Xbox One games available.

Use that information however you see fit.

Step 2: Punch everything

Xbox One is objectively Microsoft's worst console ever for what Microsoft and Rare are doing to Conker. The only reboot I can think of that would be worse than this is if Nintendo released "CPA Mario" and it's literally just filing thousands of tax returns.

Post by: oohhboy on March 02, 2016, 10:02:55 AM: They named the third Xbox the Xbox one and named the second Xbox 360. They are all equally **** in their own unique ways.
