Gaming, on the other hand... it's not like they weren't dealing with games on the desktop before Xbox. I remember reading somewhere that the Xbox is just a desktop PC in a different case, if you take a look at the components.
- tinkthank 7y agoThat's correct - the Xbox was about 95% COTS PC components. It had a Pentium 3, a Geforce 3 deriviative, 64MB DDR RAM, and a 8GB IDE HDD. Compare that to the PowerPC or MIPS processors and custom GPUs the competition was using at the time.
