 Microsoft's idea of "taking a cue" from Sony to enter the video games market. Releasing on November 15th, 2001 in North America, the Xbox's specifications boil down to a custom Pentium III CPU, 64 MB of RAM (upgradable with modding), and GeForce 3 based graphics capable of outputting up to 1920x1080(!!) with presumably >24-bit true color. These were very powerful for the time, and essentially equated to a desktop PC crammed into a console's form factor. Combined with a strong games library and powerful modding scene, the Xbox ended up selling 24 million units, complete with a record-breaking launch sales figure of 1.5 million - making it enough of a success (despite monetary losses at Microsoft) to afford the release of a successor device. Microsoft's idea of "taking a cue" from Sony to enter the video games market.
