if x box did not have halo would it have ...

If you reember way bach when x-box first came out it did not do too ell until halo came along. If x box did not have halo would it have failed and would there be a 360 nowif x box did not have halo would it have ...
Well, considering that Halo 2 was practically the only game people played on xbox live for the original xbox... Probably. A huge portion of those players bought the 360 knowing that Halo 3 would come out for it eventually. I don't know, it seems like such a broad statement though.But hey, it's out and selling well. Can't change the past so why bother asking ''what if's''if x box did not have halo would it have ...
Well MS would probably have kept at it while losing tons of money. Didn't MS they would lose money for as long as it took to become established in the console market?
Well, after I asked my sister to help me understand what you wrote, I think it would have survived even without Halo, but there's no telling.
Without Halo the original Xbox would probably have failed.
Halo was the game that brought attention to the original Xbox. I doubt it would have survived without it.
Not at all. Halo was THE game behind the success of the Xbox. Without it, I doubt it would have had as much support as it did.

There's no way to deny this at all. The 360, however, is a different story.
Halo was instrumental in saving the first Xbox. Im glad it did was a great console
no

Third party developers probley will be afraid to come to the 360. Also i know MS has a lot of money but if the first x ox failed they would probley would of gave up and focused on pc again
IF Halo 1 never was released on the XBOX 1, the XBOX would have been DOA not too long after launch.
[QUOTE=''EmperorZeruel'']If you reember way bach when x-box first came out it did not do too ell until halo came along.

Anyway, what does it matter what would have happened if Halo didn't exist? Halo does exist. It's sold a crapload of copies. Arguing about how things would be different if it didn't exist is pointless wanking, without the big payoff at the end.
microsoft put a lot of resources into the halo series. If halo never existed, those resources would have went into some other franchise. No one knows how it would have turned out. Probably worse

The original Xbox didn't have that much games that ''defined'' the Xbox other than Halo. Of course, there were a few good titles like Star Wars: Republic Commando and Far Cry: Instincts and Evolution but Halo is more significant. Without it, the Xbox would be like a human with a hand-held stereo, while surronded by a bunch of zombies. If Halo didn't exist and no title ''defined'' the Xbox and despite all that, MS still released the 360 in 2005, third-party devs would probably be worried and the 360 would later become non-existent or overcome by the PS3 or Wii. Then again, consider the games such as Dead Rising and Gears of War, then maybe the 360 would still be dominant but not as much. Halo is the big reason why anyone would buy a Xbox and even a 360. Big difference is that the Xbox was entirely dependent on Halo where as the 360 had a boat-load of titles that made the 360 a quality system with a huge title coming out.
Just judging off of these last couple of years, I still think it would've suceeded, but Halo of course helps. The 360 still has a good line-up. Also, they would have people working 24/7 trying to rush out the next Gears if it wasn't for Halo's sucess.
