Xbox Vs PlayStation: Ranking EVERY Launch Line-Up From Worst To Best

1. Xbox

Tekken xbox launch lineup ps2
Bungie

Launch Date: 2001

Notable Games: Halo: Combat Evolved, Project Gotham Racing, Dead or Alive 3

While the PS2 release line-up had quantity up the wazoo, the original Xbox arrived a year later with a smaller, but higher quality launch slate.

Yes, there was absolute trash like Shrek, and atypical Madden and NASCAR titles, but there were also a handful of flavorsome new games like cult classic Cel Damage, or bizarre action/snowboard hybrid Dark Summit.

Even crazier, Microsoft was able to gain console exclusives from established franchises: Dead or Alive 3, Project Gotham Racing, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2X - all had previously gained fame on Sony and Sega platforms beforehand.

Yet, this is really all about one game... Halo.

The first Halo is still the most iconic Xbox game made ever, and it is still THE best launch game ever released, therefore this takes the cake folks.
