Was it the games? The hardware? The marketing? Tell us!
We’re fast approaching the 25th anniversary of Xbox (look out for it November 2026!), and over the past couple of decades, the brand has racked up millions of fans who have spent thousands on consoles, games and more.
It might be a fairly short history all things considered, but so much has happened in that time. Each of the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S eras have come with their own ups and downs, from major successes like the release of Halo and the glory days of the Xbox 360 library, to the Red Ring of Death and the botched Xbox One launch.
I don’t know why, but I could not stand Gran Turismo 4. I loved the first three and preordered 4, but within a week I was at GameStop trading in my PlayStation for an Xbox. I honestly don’t know what about it pissed me off so much, but I haven’t looked back.
