With the release of the first Xbox console in November 2001, the brand received its maiden exposure in the US.
The first video game console made by an American firm was the original Atari Jaguar, which stopped being sold in 1996. By May 2006, more than 24 million copies had been sold.
The Xbox 360, Microsoft’s second system, made its launch in 2005 and as of October 2021 had 86 million units sold. The Xbox One, the third system, made its debut in November 2013 and has subsequently sold 51 million units.
The Series X and Series S Xbox systems, the fourth generation, were introduced in November 2020. Phil Spencer, who assumed the role in late March 2014, followed Marc Whitten as Xbox CEO.
Sony Computer Entertainment had positioned the PlayStation 2 as the heart of home entertainment when it was first unveiled in 1999.
In addition to playing video games, the machine could also play audio CDs and video DVDs. Microsoft considered the PlayStation 2 a danger to the personal computer because its primary business had been supporting the personal computer (PC) industry with its Windows operating system, software, and games.
How many Xbox types are there?
If you remove retail configurations, there are reportedly 9 main Xbox models throughout 4 generations.
