Changes

The Xbox was a modest seller and helped create a brand for Microsoft that would give [[Xbox 360 emulators|its successor]] a stronger market share in the west. Despite Microsoft's best efforts, the original Xbox and succeeding consoles from the company never gained a foothold in Japan for various reasons.<ref name="Censored_Gaming">{{cite web|url=https://youtu.be/DmCHJmi_st4|title=Why The Xbox Failed In Japan|publisher=Youtube|accessdate=2018-07-25|date=2018-07-16}}</ref> It had a number of advantages over other sixth-gen consoles at the time; it was the only console to include a hard disk,<ref group=NN2>The [[PlayStation 2 emulators|PlayStation 2]] also had a hard disk accessory, but the Xbox had it built-in on all models.

Early in its lifespan, the Xbox had [[wikipedia:Xbox modding|an unusually active modding scene]] compared to the other consoles (often vindicated by the incredibly short warranty). Upon the first jailbreak by [[wikipedia:Andrew Huang (hacker)|Andrew Huang]], the scene ultimately delivered no comprehensive emulation until the mid-2010s<ref group=NN2>The Xbox would have been too difficult to emulate at the time anyway, as its specs often rivaled that of consumer PCs. It was alleged that many developers received legal threats from Microsoft to dissuade them from trying.</ref>, as Xbox homebrew typically relied on stolen XDKs rather than true reverse engineering work. Although developers have continued to have issues because, alongside the poorly documented hardware and repeated uses of the simpler but largely failed HLE approach, there has been little motivation to develop an emulator because many of the Xbox's games either came from Windows or were then released for Windows afterward (though it does retain a few exclusives). However, the Xbox emulation scene has been resurging with two emulators at the forefront since mid-2017. Their developers continue to say there's no competition between them, as they're both open-source and have different goals and methods.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/8ymp6n/cxbxreloaded_just_hit_v01/e2ckmpl/ JayFoxRox's statement] (representing XQEMU).
