OG xbox was a beast for its time, quite far ahead of ps2 and gc.
Thats no shock it came out over 1.5 years after the ps2, remember the pace of hardware improvement is decreasing since moores law fell.
Its like comparing either the ps5 or xbox series X to a console coming out in 2024 and going, wow the one in 2024 is a lot more powerful
I dont understand how did they achieve a ram increase? They added memory modules on the OG?Just for fun.
How much longer would a simple RAM increase have extended the Xbox's lifespan? What would a 512MB of RAM look like with an original Xbox with only 128mb could run Doom 3 at native 720p with no developer optimization.

You didn't think Xenos+Xenon and Cell+RSX was interesting?GC showed nice things. Rogue Leader/squadron blew my mind at the time. Wave Race Bluestorm too.
And PS2 had its own strenght of course...
I felt the 3 machines were pretty unique tbh. One of the last time that hardware differences were interesting...

Tell that to MGS2
I think you will eventually run into areas that will just be too slow. That's a lot to ask of that GPU and its shared memory pool's bandwidth.
The OG xbox was quite far ahead of PS2 and GC, it also launched later as opposed to the PS2 and was rather big for a console at the time (and probably very costly for MS sourcing NV and intel parts with alot of ram for a console).
Well yeah that's what Doom3 XBox normally runs at. You can see in these 720p videos that some games are not playable at 720p. Some games already had it at its limits at 480p. It's not just a memory capacity thing.But, what about a target resolution of 480p? That's the machine's main target and still serviceable in the early 360 days and way less taxing.
