I don’t think I’ve been or ever will be blown away by a console game more than the experience of playing Halo on Xbox for the first time! WOW what a great time to be alive.
I know right? I was one of the 3% who’s launch consoles did not red ring. I still have mine and it still works perfectly. To be fair I never play it for more than 2 hours at a time and I always clean out the dust and change the thermal paste every 2 years.
It was great that these guys went out on a limb and did what they truly believed in, despite Sony overtaking the XBOX in terms of sales it truly did succeed in all intents and purposes, establishing Microsoft in the home console market as a force to be reckoned with. I myself was an early adopter and loved the time when the XBOX was released, it was fresh, new, and exciting, but most importantly initially had it were it counts, awesome killer apps and hardware that actually outperformed PlayStation 2 easily and brought to light Sony's aging system immediately. Games like Morrowind and Halo 2 were games that would never be able to be done on the PS2, And cross-platform games like the GTA series were examples of how much better these performed on XBOX, ..even now in 2019 the original XBOX still thrives as the perfect emulating gaming device with Linux, it's just an awesome system, and a stellar beginning for Microsoft as home gaming console developer.
Xbox has the late 2000's but Playstation took over the 90's and early 2000's for me. My dad bought me one with a copy of crash and i remember he was so impressed with the technology of games tht he would play more than me.
I remember my brother damn near begging my dad for the Xbox and good thing he did because since then we've been Xbox gamers. Although we're not loyal to any specific gaming company. Ever since the OG Xbox days my brother and I have spent hours upon hours bonding on Xbox consoles more than any other console since the Sega Genesis days
Miss these documentaries. Why did they call a few of them "Icons" and the others "Game Makers?" Just a change of name in the middle of producing all of them? Thanks for uploading this. I miss TechTV and G4.
From what I can remember, this was Icons first and G4 changed it to Game Makers when they launched a new, different show called Icons. I think it was about celebrities rise to fame.
This was where a great franchise all started. The XBOX was good, but the XBOX360 took it to another level. XBOX ONE looks like it will take it even further. Just great overall systems and games.
I was born to be a gamer. When I was nine years old back in 2005, way before my 10th birthday, I was born to be a gamer when I thought, "Man, I want an Xbox". I used to have that console since Christmas 2005.
amen, I don't even have a 360 anymore, in the time I had an XBOX from 2009 to now, 2 360 consoles died. I think PS3 is more the 7th gen console for me even though it wasn't better in looks, it IS more reliable.
InsaneCR0W First of all I just don't like it and second of all I don't have any Next-Gen consoles I have an Xbox 360 and sorry if i upset u *kicks self in the face multiple time*
InsaneCR0W I have a PS4 and an Xbox One the WiiU is whack the last console that was even great was the Gamecube they starting losing there touch ever since they made the Regular Wii. the WiiU is just a huge update for the normal Wii just amp the graphics up 50% and just throw extra controllers and changed the shape & obviously added more games to it.that's.. actually about it. now rumors are saying that Nintendo is heading to mobiles in few years. i think that's the biggest most dumbest idea that i ever heard.
I still own the original Xbox since Christmas 2004. It is one of my favorite game consoles (along with Sega Mega Drive and Dreamcast) and my favorite Microsoft video game console. I like this way better than Xbox 360.
They are from early and mid 2,000's. I think some are from the late and mid 90's though. I watched these shows a lot during the early and mid 2,000's This was one of my favorite TV shows at the time.
PlayStation and Xbox created the sequel to the console wars. And it still goes on to this day. While PlayStation has had more marketing success, Xbox made games more fun and entertaining for players.
Stephen Case sales tell nothing to be fair I believe in quality not quantity, I play both and also Nintendo and Sega consoles, I won’t lie there but Xbox is my preference.
I wasn't a huge fan of XBOX right away, I didn't care for it until the year before the 360 launched. Since then however, I've been an XBOX guy and walked away from PlayStation.
Andrew Clement I tried walking away from PlayStation but I can’t walk away from my classics lol I’m sadly stuck with all my gaming consoles but I can’t complain all consoles have great games that have different problems and some advantages that others don’t, Xbox just happens to be the best.
Lol Shamus getting emotional at the end about creating Xbox when he worked at Microsoft. Creating a console with an endless supply of money is hardly impressive when they didn't even manage to achieve their goal of beating Sony. Playstation continues to whoop their butt
You guys know nothing about console quality. Xbox and Saturn were great consoles with many great games. Phillips CDi, Atari jaguar, Atari 5200, Panasonic 3DO, Apple Bandai Pippin. None of these come to mind?
What a great time to be alive and be a gamer. I miss the 6th gen. Everything was so exciting. Now not so much.
+Scraggle there are better things to sit front of the tv, life aint only about virtual reality.
+padawan007 he never said it was
Nah, I prefer to be sedentary in front of a monitor and do drugs while playing artificial adrenaline pumping video games... Come at me bro.
You just got old that's what went wrong.
CJ Ware / I agree . Drugs do go well with Vidio Games . Aswell as Music, Sex, Etc, to name a few . 🍸🍷🍺🍾🍹💉💊🍄
I don’t think I’ve been or ever will be blown away by a console game more than the experience of playing Halo on Xbox for the first time! WOW what a great time to be alive.
"we got to do it right next time"
50 million red ring of deaths
I know right? I was one of the 3% who’s launch consoles did not red ring. I still have mine and it still works perfectly. To be fair I never play it for more than 2 hours at a time and I always clean out the dust and change the thermal paste every 2 years.
I always love coming back to this video
That really was the golden era of the console wars.
it really was

The origional controler kind of reminds me of the Sega Dreamcast contorler
That prototype was so goddamn atrocious, XD!!! Glad they went another direction! Love my OG Xbox!! Still own fable, halo 1, and TES:morrowind
This was where a great franchise all started. The XBOX was good, but the XBOX360 took it to another level. XBOX ONE looks like it will take it even further. Just great overall systems and games.
eastside49er give it 3 years XBOX One did what you predicted!
Xbox series X makes them all look like babies
OG Xbox was awesome. Miss those times, especially playing MechAssault on XBL
I was born to be a gamer. When I was nine years old back in 2005, way before my 10th birthday, I was born to be a gamer when I thought, "Man, I want an Xbox". I used to have that console since Christmas 2005.
that xbox chrome prototype looks amazing, they should of kept that design.
Watching this is 2021 is so nostalgic
Today, there's Xbox One & Xbox Series X.
2024 lol 🎉
I honestly prefer the original Xbox to the 360. R
amen, I don't even have a 360 anymore, in the time I had an XBOX from 2009 to now, 2 360 consoles died. I think PS3 is more the 7th gen console for me even though it wasn't better in looks, it IS more reliable.
Xbox and ninja gaiden black dream come true
This was back when g4 was making really great content.
And here we are with the Xbox One lol XD
***** U said it Sonic! Xbox One Is rubbish! P.S how is Shadow did he find out his past
Sonic 64 Yeah! i remember i was so hyped about the original xbox!
InsaneCR0W First of all I just don't like it and second of all I don't have any Next-Gen consoles I have an Xbox 360 and sorry if i upset u *kicks self in the face multiple time*

InsaneCR0W I agree! By the way I also have a wii and it's pretty good
I Loved How The XBox Looked When Bill Gates 1st Introduced it at That Gaming Conference,But Where'd Everything go?
Poly64 ok,Thanks,That Makes a Lot of Sense,I Hope That They Put All of it Out Someday Too
20 years of Xbox. Cannot wait for what the future of gaming holds.
Trespasser, while bad, was still technically impressive.
I still own the original Xbox since Christmas 2004. It is one of my favorite game consoles (along with Sega Mega Drive and Dreamcast) and my favorite Microsoft video game console. I like this way better than Xbox 360.
Same I still have my original 2001 model
They are from early and mid 2,000's. I think some are from the late and mid 90's though. I watched these shows a lot during the early and mid 2,000's This was one of my favorite TV shows at the time.
Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube and Xbox 🔥 Best generation by far!
2000s was a great decade to be a gamer
Agree
Man I'll never forget when I first heard Microsoft was making a game console I was legitimately excited and confused all at the same time.
Shit, the NVIDIA chip still is the hottest thing on the planet Mr. Blackley......
I remember when it was just G4 without tech TV.... I used to love the show portals...
Bungie saved the Xbox with Halo. I think Microsoft should treat the franchise with more respect.
PS2 out lived the Xbox, Gamecube, and the WII.
Timmii Gaming Channel unfortunately the Wii is still alive (life support basically) so unfortunately the PS2 didn’t outlive it
17:40 what happened to this? Now there's no incentive for owning an Xbox now...
Xbox = Dreamcast resurrected
Poor guys, good idea, but they trusted the devil, and they got burnt!
xb introduced new concepts like the h drive, pushed Ninty to 3rd place even. Mine will always have a home.
my favorite console
IMO, The Original Xbox was an even bigger risk than the PS1. Ultimately, it succeeded because of one game; Halo.
Randy Dubin not so well in japan though.
Morrowind??..
0:28 YOUR GONNA LOSE ALL OUR MONAAYY!!
Don't forget 10:25
Happy 20th birthday, Xbox! 💚💚💚💚💚
miss this shit
my 1st console - own that black thing up to today. Even incorporating into my writing.

Oh dear, four suckers got Shrek on launch :S
17:22
I miss G4. :(
12:13 "We had to show that it wasn't a PC" Well where the frell did that go?
I wasn't a huge fan of XBOX right away, I didn't care for it until the year before the 360 launched. Since then however, I've been an XBOX guy and walked away from PlayStation.
Andrew Clement I tried walking away from PlayStation but I can’t walk away from my classics lol I’m sadly stuck with all my gaming consoles but I can’t complain all consoles have great games that have different problems and some advantages that others don’t, Xbox just happens to be the best.
0:29 NEEDS to be a meme!
great video game console, fucking awesome games. best game for me, jet set radio future.
yeah i agree, i bought my 1st xbox in 2002, it came with 2 free sega games, sega gt 2002 and jet set radio future, i love it
Don't forget Microsoft's acquisition of Rare in 2002.
Gee, I wonder what the Xbox 2 will be like
HOT CHICK !!! 19:32
12:05 - 12:43 is that a real XBOX game or just a promo to show off the graphics?
just a promo
12:05
16:46 who the hell plays games like that
They should move Xbox Game Studios to Albuquerque, NM.
Gears of War is Xbox's Uncharted, however I'm with Sony PlayStation all the way, you can't beat Sony PlayStation, it's impossible.
I think your mom is so busy to pay you attention
Actually it is possible
Don’t mind the 2 xbots here your right it’s impossible.
how old are these shows...?
I'm a PlayStation guy, NOT AN XBOX GUY!!!!!! 🙂
ok,Then Why Did You Watch This?
Cool
Good for you.
gamecube guy here
everything guy over here...
And there Orlando Jones 😊
Come on! You are about to make millions of dollars off of the Xbox. Do you think your girlfriend was going to say no to you.
SUB4YOU LOL 😂 for real
Now in 2019 the Google Yeti has been announced (from ex-employees of PlayStation and Xbox)
Josue Monge I need links please
@@JNPollard Go on Google's channel, they're going to announce their plans at GDC in March 19, or unless u r going to GDC in person
@@JM20282 *Google Stadia is cancelled.*
14:39 Bill Gates being bill gates
Haha how many times did shamus said we can potently screwed up the industry in the development of the Xbox.
20:05 Apathy the Alien Tongue.
mookiecookie44 How are you surprised about that? You most likely have one in your living room, called the Xbox 360 silly! XD
I wish that Icons' soundtrack was available to listen on its own in any way.
Lols "Xbox 2" where the fuck did Xbox 360 come form? and now Xbox 1
Damn, the original Xbox was so bad ass
I would like to get me one of those Xbox 2
18:42
Kung Fu Chaos became Super Smash Bros. That's my guess :P
Whoaaaa!!!
16:48 no words

They were wrong, people didn't get Xbox One until 2013. Boy what a stupid name for the third console.

Sony is the king of video game systems!!! I like Xbox 360 because of Gears of Wars, That's it!!!!
Xbox4life
the x box was coo but look at what it has become now Sony just flew right by them
sharddavis0 check this out!!!
Lol Shamus getting emotional at the end about creating Xbox when he worked at Microsoft. Creating a console with an endless supply of money is hardly impressive when they didn't even manage to achieve their goal of beating Sony. Playstation continues to whoop their butt
hmm..we need these guys bck for xbox or someone like them..xbox not looking good as a brand.
Piece of crap system from November 15 2001 to now 2017 Xbox one s trash forever
Sounds like you should have bought the one X instead of S. S is trash lol
Worst console ever.
Xyloblast Never, Sega Saturn was the worst in my opinion. OG Xbox had some classics including Ninja Gaiden Black.
You guys know nothing about console quality. Xbox and Saturn were great consoles with many great games.
Phillips CDi, Atari jaguar, Atari 5200, Panasonic 3DO, Apple Bandai Pippin. None of these come to mind?
Piece of crap. It doesn't have Fallout 4.
StarwindAmada1 hahaha very funny, if anything fallout 1 just came around lol
