Ick, the original Xbox was not a good system at all to me. The Gamecube had tons of addicting games, while the Xbox had.... Halo. And if you're not big on FPS's (like myself) than the original Xbox kinda sucked. I also don't much care for the controller, and the dashboard is depressing to me. It really is all preference though.

It can be broken down like this:

If you're into platformers, party games, quirkiness, and innovation Nintendo's the way to go.

If you're into shooters, sports games, online play, and a bit of a graphics whore Microsoft's the way to go.

If you're into RPG's and compelling storylines, Sony's the way to go.

Actually, Microsoft has more good RPGs than Sony does now.

Really? I did like Enchanted Arms. What are some other ones?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and of course Mass Effect. :D Love that game.

Lost Odyssey is really good. There's also Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, The Last Remnant (it has some technical issues, but the game/story is really good). Coming out next year is Star Ocean: The Last Hope and of course, Final Fantasy XIII will launch day and date the same as the PS3.

PS3 I don't find that appealing for a number of reasons. Generally the only original games that I hear about for it are Japanese RPG's which don't appeal to me at all. I'm really not into much Japan and I guess thats why I'm not big on Sony or Nintendo. Also the games it has are usually also on the 360 and I always feel they put less work into the PS3 versions somehow, as the PS3 is a more powerful machine and yet sometimes the 360 games look much better. Also, I like Xbox Live service a lot, and all of my friends use it, so that part of it was pretty appealing as if I'm going to play online with people I prefer to play with my actual friends.

As for the Xbox Original's draw, I actually didn't buy into Halo for a while, though it was definitely one of the high points of that console. I also really enjoyed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1 and 2), Fable, Crimson Skies, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and especially Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. And the original Mercenaries was pretty sweet, too. The GTA games were redone very nicely for the Xbox as well.
