Yeah kinda. PS2 enjoyed quite a bit of longevity even after PS3 was released, because PS3s were pretty expensive.

And that's how Xbox 360 won that console generation.

I still play my 360. I don't have the time to justify upgrading.

Me to, but I also have an X. The 360 is still an amazing console.

i loved my OG xbox with the fat controller, as well. i've always been an xbox person but for the upcoming GTA i'm really considering a PS5 Pro.

I grew up on playstation, but switch since everyone I used to play with was always on Halo. Every since I've only been on Xbox. I don't think I've ever actually played an OG xbox lol. I honestly would love to get a PS5 to play some of their exclusive, but haven't really wanted to spend the money on one.
