Xbox
Microsoft's entry into the console wars arrived in 2001 with a machine unlike anything before it. The Original Xbox packed a modified Intel Pentium III, an NVIDIA GPU, and — for the first time in console history — a built-in hard drive. It launched Halo, built the foundation for Xbox Live, and proved that a tech company could take on Nintendo and Sony on their own turf.
