There is no denying many of us here has been gaming for a long time, way before xbox existed and if you have been gaming for a long time there is no doubt you were once a fan of Nintendo, Sega, and/or Sony consoles. So what made you go over to Microsoft and the Xbox Brand?

For me, my first console was a PS2 which I had so fun on, I bought over 50 games and I played the hell out of them. but then on the news I heard that Microsoft will soon be releasing this new console called XBOX! I thought it sounded awesome and it looked way cooler then any other console I have seen in my entire life. For christmas my uncle managed to get me a RARE Limited Edition Halo Xbox which lit up green when turned on, I nearly cried! Other than my Uncle some how downloading about 100 games onto it with a USB I went down to EB Games myself and bought Halo 2. This mate, was like no other game, I literally fell in love. I knew that this whole fps aspect would some how get competitive, AND IT DID! I never really went to the many LAN tournaments that were held in Sydney (Australia) nor did I join any of the Online tournaments. But it was amazing knowing that this game made by bungie is what turned Xbox into a competitive console, it is the reason why competitve fps even exists on the xbox. Without it we would be stuck with doing 1v1's on Little Big Planet on Playstation. Xbox is and always will be the only console for competitve. And that is one of the many reasons why I LOVE it!

I've owned most of the systems from NES to PS2. Jumped to original xbox and liked the games and online gaming was much better with halo 2 than anything on PS Online on PS2.

Haven't looked back since. I see what Sony puts out , but it doesn't interest me and their network is garbage so I have stuck with Xbox.

like everyone else, started with NES. Got ps1 for xmas one year. Never got to own a ps2/xbox

by the time i could afford a new system 360/ps3 were out so i went with a 360 and never looked back. was clearly the best choice for online gaming and xbox as a whole still is.

so i bought an xbox one on release night and there really is no regret. nothing we can do about some nerds attacking both sony and microsoft. i never had an issue getting online during xmas while sony was out for several days..
