Bruce Everiss of Seeking Alpha thinks it is a big mistake for Microsoft to kill off the original Xbox half way through its life. Everiss suggests that Microsoft could have used re-engineered the original Xbox to make it cheaper, and then sold the cheaper Xbox with Xbox Live to China and India to lock the two lower income markets into buying future generations of Microsoft consoles.

Capcom commemorated the two-year anniversary of Dragon's Dogma 2 with new artwork that fans say contains hints of a major update.
I don't see Capcom revisiting the game outside of a Switch 2 port. It under-performed and generally when that happens any potential future content goes bye-bye.
BS. I could really care less about the original Xbox.
I want my HD baby!
Stop bringing up old news that no one cares about.
This is the world of the next generation systems. Why bring up something that no one is going to change.
Not so xbox live anymore is it, more like xbox dead, kicked, and trampled on like and old dog lying in the gutter begging for a real company to look after it
seeing how fast my xbox and the games I had became bargain bin material overnight I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I have a 360 but will keep the game library small incase they decide to do this again.
i dont even like the look of xbox console and that controller is like a controller from "thomus the tank engine"
Why does no one understand that they really had no choice considering that at the $149.99 price point they were still losing $30-40 a unit because they had to keep pace with the beast that was the PS2. The inclusion of the HDD standard and higher end components than the PS2 made this a cost nightmare, and with limited developer support due to EVERY single developer knowing that Sony buttered their bread it was a lose lose situation for them.
IMO, They did the right thing by strictly focusing on their Next Gen console and not even worrying about full backwards compatibility. They already had established the Xbox name among gamers and knew if they got a next gen system to the market first that they could get in with some developers that wouldn't support the original Xbox.
I mean when you think about it in those terms, to think they would do the same with the 360 is really just ignorant. No console is even at the $199 price point yet and everybody knows this is when consoles fly off the shelves. in about 2 years at Christmas time when the 360 is $199 for the Premium(Pro) model you will see sales of well over 50+ million total sold.
With the attach rate of 360 games and the possibility of selling that many systems why the hell would they abandon the strength of the 360.
I think everyone can agree though that the hardware better be bulletproof on the next system, That BS is unforgivable.
