	'''Xbox''' is {{w\|Microsoft}}'s gaming brand, and the name of their line of video game consoles. The original Xbox was released in [[2001]], and while it sold decently, it lagged substantially behind its main competitor the [[PlayStation]] 2, probably because no ''Transformers'' games were ever released for it. Much more successful, however, was the '''Xbox 360''', which launched in [[2005]] and was an overwhelming success, thanks to a strong game lineup and revolutionizing online console gaming with Xbox Live, becoming the highest-selling American-made console of all time. In [[2013]], Microsoft launched the '''Xbox One''', but it initially struggled due to poor messaging and controversial decisions related to digital rights management and a shift towards general entertainment over video games, forcing them to spend most of the console generation clawing their way back to modest profit. The latest system is [[2020]]'s '''Xbox Series X''' (and its lower-end variant the '''Xbox Series S'''), which has done decently well thanks to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service <s>at the cost of a bunch of studios getting unceremoniously shut down and countless developers laid off to help pay for other acquisitions</s> whoa what who said that?
