Microsoft's foray into the console gaming market began with the release of the original Xbox in 2001. Since then, Microsoft has released various consoles, including the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and the latest Xbox Series X and S. But what makes Microsoft consoles unique?

One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft consoles is the robust online gaming capabilities. Xbox Live has been a staple of the Xbox experience, allowing gamers to play with friends and compete on a global scale. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced backwards compatibility, allowing gamers to play previous generation Xbox games on their newer consoles.

However, one of the downsides to Microsoft consoles is the lack of exclusive titles. While there are a few exclusives like Halo and Gears of War, most games are available on multiple platforms. Microsoft also faces tough competition from Sony and Nintendo in terms of overall market share.

So, what are your thoughts on Microsoft consoles? Do the online capabilities and backwards compatibility make up for the lack of exclusive titles? Share your experiences with the Xbox family of consoles and why you prefer Microsoft consoles over other options.

Last Xbox I had was the 360. Loved the earlier iterations of Halo and Gears of War. Hard to compete with PC these days.

Do the online capabilities and backwards compatibility make up for the lack of exclusive titles?

With Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda, it is likely they will have more exclusives in the future. Bethesda some solid titles, including Fallout/Elder Scrolls. Starfield just came out and it's safe to say Sony is going to be hurting.
