Halo: Combat Evolved was a launch title for Xbox. Many say that because of of this title alone, the Xbox performed as well as it did. It sold alongside more than fifty percent of Xbox consoles for more than two months after its release. This game was also said to jumpstart the multiplayer revolution.
Halo 2 launched on November 9, 2004. It generated an astonishing total of $125 million on its first day, making it the fastest selling media product in United States history. It was one of the premiere games for Xbox Live, and without it, Live would have been doomed.
Without Halo, there would be no Xbox Live, thus, no Xbox 360 because the Xbox wouldn't have performed well enough for Microsoft to warrant developing a new console. The Xbox was so successful because of Xbox Live, and without it, the Xbox would just be another gaming console.

Good point. I'd hate to imagine how fast the original Xbox would have died without Halo CE......
Good job Bacon, but I think that's going a little too far. I guess you could say that Master Chief is a Xbox's mascot as Mario is to Nintendo and ...umm..Blu Ray Logo man is to PS3 (although Ratchet and Clank could be one) but to be honest, in my opinion Halo is nothing more than a shooter. I haven't seen anything revolutionary from it and still don't quite understand why it was so great, I mean, the storyline was good at best. It's a sorta, "blow up the enemies before they blow you up", type of deal. But I guess most people don't play for the story. Multiplayer was alright at best. I really did like the customization of game types and all of that. But I believe that Xbox Live would of been nothing without Halo is a little over the top, imo.
Yeah... no. The xbox would be fine without Halo.
