Xbox

The Microsoft Xbox is a sixth generation era video game console first released on November 15, 2001 in North America, then released on February 22, 2002 in Japan, and on March 14, 2002 in Europe. The Xbox was Microsoft's first independent venture into the video game console arena, after having developed the operating system and development tools for the MSX, and having collaborated with Sega in porting Windows CE to the Sega Dreamcast console.

Notable launch titles for the console include Halo: Combat Evolved, Amped, Dead or Alive 3, and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee.

The vastly popular Xbox Live gaming service has launched the Xbox into fame. The legacy of the Xbox has been continued with the launch of the Xbox 360.
