Most people who want to play a game will choose a $10 download over a $50 physical copy.

Let's take an example say castlevania and megaman X series

Both series are in stores on multiple consoles for cheap or have really nice compilation collections. why are the originals still so expensive even though you can get downloads of those for less than 10$ or a cheap collection on a current gen console

why spend hundreds if you can get all games for 50ish$ in one collection.

even cart only megaman X2 and 3 to name some examples didnt drop in price it stayed either roughly the same or increased in price.

Poor man's console for RPGs? What?! Xbox had plenty of RPGs. It didn't have a lot of JRPGs. But if you like Western RPGs, Xbox was fantastic.

you mean sudeki and jade empire?

if where talking morrow wind, why would you need to pick that title up if you have skyrim or witcher III as replacements.

Name me a list if it's that plentyfull of western rpg's?

I can think of only less than 10 titles on OG xbox. let alone than in a ton of those cases with exceptions most western rpg's don't age that well compared to jrpg's or turn based rpg's.

burningdoom:
Morrowind, Arx Fatalis, Jade Empire, Fable, Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2, Justice League: Heroes, X-Men Legends 1 & 2, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. And even if you don't like every other game on that list, there's no denying Morrowind. That game alone is worth owning an Xbox or a 360. No other game like it on consoles that generation.

And to answer your question: I'd rather play Morrowind on Xbox because I'm not a PC gamer, and even if I was I'm not bothering with tweaking my PC and looking for files to download to make it work in 2020.

Morrowind plays very, very differently than either of those games. That's sorta like asking why bother playing Chrono Trigger when you've got Tales of Vesperia or Ni No Kuni II as replacements.
