It's been 20 years since Microsoft revealed the Xbox 360 on MTV

With the exception of RROD and the Kinect push in its latter years, Microsoft got everything right with the Xbox 360.

I think Microsoft fumbled hard in the second half of the generation. This could led them to a lead position into the 2010s but the push for Kinect and less and less of quality on their main titles, alongside few or none third party exclusive titles, give much much room to the Playstation 3 gain traction again.

But in any case, it's a impressive machine to this day and super influentional. Online gaming is what it is nowadays because Xbox 360 (for good or bad).

I remember years down the road watching E3 coverage on MTV, the year when I understood the feeling of the word "Hype" with them showing off Bioshock: Infinite and Call of Duty Black Ops.

Those truly were the days

Someone needs to bring back Game Room and/or tell me how to unlock Sunset Riders in it. You would download the whole pack and buy unlock keys, so it's just sitting there. There has to be a debug controller input or something!

Soon we will all return to the earth as dust.

It’s such a shame that the legacy of this console is slightly tainted because WOW ITS EARLY LIBRARY IS BEAUTIFUL!

There’s a reason it was so beloved. There’s a reason it was able to somewhat make a splash in Japan. It was at the right place and at the right time, but it was also the right console. Great games, great controller, great online experience, and great hardware experience until your console explodes itself (which is a whole other thing.)
