You could put this on TV and even non-gamers would probably still find it fascinating

I wish the game industry made more docs like this. I love that Microsoft was willing to poke fun at their missteps. Playing my series X today it’s crazy to think how many things had to align in order to get to today.

[@itzfraggle9620]

They have been exceptionally honest about their mistakes throughout this series of videos. I’m very surprised and impressed.

[@UmbralLogic]

Really refreshing to see their honesty in an industry that’s usually so secretive.

Thank you Direct X Team and Microsoft for having the foresight to jump into gaming...... respect 👊!!

[@ThaMobstarr]

I love how they just randomly included Snoop Dogg in this documentary lol.

[@RXdash78]

I love these kind of behind the scenes looks at things, especially when they show warts and all. It's crazy how many things nearly torpedoed the whole effort form the start.

The amount of risk put into the Original Xbox.

I've been there since day one and it's so nice to see how it all started from inside!

[@eddie4a]

Have to say, this first chapter was much better than I thought it was going to be, hopefully the rest are equally as awesome!

[@flanagamer]

Crazy how old this footage looks and it’s only 20 years ago 😅🤯 Amazing how fast technology changes!

[@360GamerCast]

wow. As someone who has been an Xbox gamer since the OG Xbox launch, I have to say that this doc brings back so many memories for me. So great to see behind the scenes.

[@zackevans5844]

I remember unboxing the original Xbox like it was yesterday. I can definitely appreciate the level of fun Xbox and hard times Xbox got me through.

[@lSparCkL]

Listo para disfrutar el primer episodio🔥 Te quiero mucho XBOX

[@dublxml]

This whole documentary makes me appreciate Xbox so much more than i ever have.

[@mrgarypaterson]

Excellent documentary charting the birth of an icon, also surprising and refreshingly honest about some of the attitudes, approaches, and mistakes at the time. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Been with Xbox since Day 1. Even through 2 Xbox 360s with the dreaded Red Ring. Just got my XSX 2 weeks ago and Loving it. Uncle Phil got this in the bag. Glad to still be with you guys. 🤘🏻✊🏻
