I was also in high school during this era, Halo 3, Gears 2 and Skyrim were the most hyped I’ve ever been for game releases. I ended up picking up a ps3 as well when they released the slim and I found out about Demons Souls. The steam deck is bringing the feeling of this time back for me. All I want to play on it are games from this era. A much simpler time in my life. Great video and thank you for the nostalgia trip!
I have been a gamer since the late 1980's and am now in my early 40's, never married or had kids, I really remained a kid at heart my whole life so i really dont have nostalgia for gaming when I was younger, and much younger. To be honest I think the last 7 year or so have been my favorite. Games like Death Stranding, Sekiro, Final fantasy 7 Remake, Yakuza games, Elden Ring, Zelda BoTW and ToTK,, Horizon, Nier Automata, AI Somnium Files, Persona 5, Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077 2.0.. have become some of my favorite games of all time. Also i love VR, and experiencing VR has been life changing. When it comes to my favorite console? Probably PS4.
@@RadKatz 2005-2008 I was in law school and living abroad, and was still gaming but not as much, and mostly PS and Nintendo so I kind missed the initial launch of the Xbox 360. But I see how games like Gears of War were truly groundbreaking at the time. Recently played Gears of war and that game still holds up great to this day. Also the Xbox 360 was groundbreaking since it was a console that really took it to the Nintendo and PS, and made some really great games.
I have been around since the beginning using 1 stick/one button. I was 29 when that fateful day when I first played Gears at a friends house and knew I had to get one although I’d had a PlayStation the prior two Generations. At 47, having gamed for 90+% of my life and subsequently owning both the PS4/XB1S and PS5/XBSX, I can honestly say my favorite console of all time is the 360.
Grew up with the og xbox and the 360, best consoles Microsoft put out by far. Just sucks that I have literally 0 reason to buy an xbox nowadays since all the games the series x/s have I can also play on my pc… in my disappointment, I actually ended up buying another 360 last year and started recollecting for it, as well as looking into all the backwards compatible xbox games I can play on it.
@@RadKatz I remember during the Xbox one era telling myself they'll probably end up like Sega the way things are going right now so I was surprised when they put out the series x/s. But with pretty much 0 exclusives I can't see them lasting much longer sadly.
@@RadKatz a better console, and the greatest console is also two different things...the PS5 is a better console than the PS2...but is it a greater console? I would argue, no...
@@RadKatz i know this video has lots of memories and value to you but most people will not resonate with the intro and because everyone on youtube has the attention span of a goldfish most likely quite a lot of people will leave. (personally I would cut out everything before you show your face and explain what the video is about). I also think that although some of the things you said were intresting you might have went on about then for a bit too long therefore losing retention. Also this video claims to be about why the xbox360 is the greatest console of all time. Even though the title is true (I also love the 360) I think some more general points about why it was so good could have been made or further explained. All in all though epic video. I really enjoyed watching it and if you want to keep it how it is feel free to do so I hope this video gets the views it deserves :)
'biggest blunder in console gaming and yet xbox still found a way to end up on top' Reminder that the 360 was the worst selling console of its generation.
how is xbox 360 the greatest console of all time when americans are the only people that played it? its not the greatest not even 1% close. this video is all wrong because Japanese nintendo & Sony's PlayStation consoles (GameCube, PS1, PS2, & PS4) are the greatest consoles of all time with all their thousands of truly amazing Japanese/Asian games & their crazy insane TV commercials that were the best commercials to ever exist. american xbox 360 couldn't even scratch the surface of Sony & Nintendo. hell even the PS3 out did the xbox 360 which 360 had literally almost absolute ZERO Japanese games at all...Long Live Japan!
The Xbox 360 in the mid to late 2000's and into the 2010's are my favorite eras i would call it the silver age of Gaming. So many memories.
what would you consider your golden age?
@@RadKatz I'm glad you asked that. The Golden age belongs to the Xbox, PS2 and the Game Cube

you are welcome, thanks for watching! A much simpler time sums it up for me as well
Great video man seriously. Just the dose of nostalgia I needed. The gaming industry has gone down the toilet these days.
it sure feels like it, glad you enjoyed the video!
Loved the nostalgia trip, great video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

couldn't agree more
I was in my late mid 20’s when the 360 hit in 2005. The absolute best console I’ve ever played. It really was the golden days of gaming.
couldn't agree more
yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
the idea that you and your dad were just sittin there cookin up profile names just to fuck with his friend is adorable
the magic of being a kid is unparalleled
I remember coming home with MW2 and seeing over a million people just playing the 360 version at that specific time. That blew my mind.
A beautiful sight
I love the UI - so simple and intuitive and the Controller also feels so good! Later xbox controllers are too loose on the sticks for my taste.
hands and 360 controllers were made for eachother
this is the perfect video on this
thank you
@@RadKatz plz do more!
@@LukeplaysTV will do, if you checkout the rewind playlist we have there are more

no, it was the greatest online multiplayer experience of any console...the PS2 is the great console of all time
but the titles says the 360 is the greatest of all time...
@@RadKatz 360 online multiplayer > PS3 online multiplayer...but the PS3 was a better console

Bro had the ideal childhood 😭 I could imagine my dad ever wanting to play halo with me I WISH he rather watch big bang theory like a chad
I was very lucky, my dad was young enough to still be a gamer when I was growing up
That would be a backward compatible ps3 has the goat but OK
Ps1
Ps2
Ps3
