I agree with Haywire, the xbox controllers are perfect. The problem with the xbox (atleast here in europe) was the advertisement.
The only ads I have seen were for Dead Or Alive and Halo (or very new titles which were unknown). Even a year after I got my xbox, when I visited a friends house, he didn't know what the xbox is, and declared it as "bad rip of the PS2".
Also, due to the bad advertisement most adults got the console which you won't find in this forums, kids under age 10 didn't even think about the console (remember, Halo and DOA are age 16+ here)
Personally I still think that the xbox had MUCH better games and graphics than the other consoles in that generation. The PS2 never had such a great system link ability (atleast not when I played) and the xbox had alot more homebrew for it.
I repeat myself here: I still use my old xbox on a monthly basis or so just to watch movies with it (its kinda replacing a dvd player in our living room), listen to internet radio... and to play classic titles like Mario 64 at the TV with an almost perfect emulation. Sometimes I also like to play some tekken etc on it - it just emulates most systems perfectly.
The XBox 1, is, in my opinion the best console designed after the dreamcast, while the "desktop" playstations (up to PS3) are only rips or copied ideas of other commercial products with less attention.
//Edit: To name a few good xbox titles:
- Halo series
- Mashed
- Counter Strike (My favorite CS)
- Kung Fu Chaos
- Burnout series (Better graphics)
- GTA (Better graphics than PS2 and PC, and replays)
- Ninja Gaiden
- Forza
- Conker
- ...
and there is always stuff like
- XBMC
- Emulators
- ...
