I suppose you could say it was made for more realistic "American titles" and the fact that even the OG xbox might not be considered retro yet that makes sense. But don't forget it helped SEGA out when the Dreamcast died. A lot of stuff in development for the Dreamcast ended up on the Xbox, that's another reason I like it. Also because it was the most powerful of that generation, didn't require memory cards, and while it did have a vastly smaller library than the PS2 because it wasn't as successful, the multiplats that did make their way there were usually the best versions, looking and running better and sometimes having more content. And keep in mind that if we're talking retro Sonic specifically, the Xbox version of Mega Collection Plus is one of the best and most convenient options for classic Sonic, of course this is just one game, but still.

Those are all good reasons. Part of it is probably is it's just what I grew up with and have never cared for Sony's controllers before the PS4. There are definitely more ps2 games, that's because it was vastly more successful, though the multiplats that did make it to the xbox were surperior visually and usually had more content. As for comparing the 360 and PS3, the PS3 is definitely more powerful, and was also more successful worldwide, though I prefer the 360 in this instance because it didn't require you to install data to play the game, and I personally think the controller was more comfortable. This generation, however, I'm completely with the PS4 because the controller is vastly improved, and the Xbox One has even less exclusives than its predecessors. Of course that no more used games shit they pulled at the beginning really turned me off. Basically I gravitate toward what is closest to what I'm looking for in a console, regardless of the company behind it.

Probably last generation, the 7th. Though the current 8th is surpassing that I feel.

I don’t care for fanboyism anymore, and can find something I like in any system and I’ve been noticing a trend of of many gamers only liking Sony and Nintendo’s stuff and I never understood it. Though I’m not a fanboy, the original Xbox is my favorite system of all time because it didn’t require memory cards and because it’s easily moddable and is the most powerful of the 6th generation. Also Jet Set Radio Future. And I’m just stating facts, this isn’t fanboyism, I’m a huge fan of Ratchet and and Clank and Mariokart as well.. also I’m currently playing shenmue for the first time and loving it! So what’s the deal with many, especially retro gamers hating on Xbox? If someone has an actual reason for not liking it, I’d love to hear that, like if you don’t like the controller or something.
