The shitcube is a literal, unironic, and objective scam.
Do you know why objectively bad games like Smelee and Sunshit attract so many groomers and trannies who treat this shovelware as some kind of professional speedrunning career? Because that's literally all cubies had to play for months at a time when the Shitcube was relevant; you bought Smelee in 2001, you weren't getting another first party or good third party for at least 8 months. Their brains have been turned into HRT-addicted mush due to having NOTHING to play except shovelware party games and licensed cartoon platformers by themselves in a musty corner of their childhood bedroom.

The backwards compatibility can be forgiven since reworking a disc based console to play cartridge based games would be a pain in the ass. Also it wasn’t just melee in 2001, you also had wave race, pikmin, Luigi’s mansion, rouge squadron 2 and cubivore. GameCube also mogs the other two in local multiplayer.

Wrong. Gamecube is the Dreamcast 2 full of soulful and colorful arcadey games. It's genuinely an insult to compare the Dreamcast to the desaturated, brown indian train station that was the Xbox.

I actually think Xbox was one of the most soulful consoles ever. Halo CE, KotoR, Fable, Jade Empire. There was a definite Xbox aesthetic going on. And also Morrowind, which I know was PC first, but still. When I think Xbox I think of those early 2000s games and a really distinct graphical style. And you gotta love the menu and presentation of the console. I think Xbox just had a beauty to it that PS2 or Gamecube didn't.

The problem with OG Xbox is it trounced the 360 so bad

I didn’t even get a Xbox One until it was given to me ten years later and then I sold it for weed. Xbox went to shit in 2005.

PC literally took its wing with the 8800 GT which made GPU’s accessible to anyone

Nvidia is an asshole capitalist monopoly rack these days forget I even mentioned them

OG Xbox RIP. 4 amazing years LIVE was the shit you sorry fucks are so lost
