Xbox
— a series of desktop game consoles manufactured by Microsoft. Initially, it was a direct competitor to the PlayStation; nowadays, this series also has to compete with the Wii U and Switch from Nintendo.The first model in the series, the original Xbox, was released in 2001. The newest version, as of mid-2020, is the Xbox One (more precisely, the updated Xbox One X, which, in particular, added support for virtual reality). At the end of the year, the next model, the Xbox Series X, is expected to be released.
Xbox games are distributed both on discs and through the official online store. Branded gamepads are used as the main gamepad (including wireless ones that require a special station for charging — see "Type"). In addition, back in 2009, the Kinect motion controller was introduced, which tracks the player’s movements directly and does not require additional items to be held in their hands. Other types of controllers are available from third parties, including VR goggles.
