It had a triple-core PowerPC-based CPU called Xenon that ran at 3.2 GHz with 512 MB of RAM, and an ATI Xenos GPU. The console's life saw several updates to its OS to alter its appearance, as well as the option of a motion-sensing camera called the [[wikipedia:Kinect|Kinect]].

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the video game market experienced an explosion of products hoping to capitalize on the success of the Odyssey and Atari. From the nigh-infinite Pong clones to the suspiciously similar consoles, consumers had far more options than they do today. This is a list of those first and second generation machines. Not all of them can be emulated or preserved, though some that can't be emulated have simulations instead. See also [[Strange and Forgotten Console emulators]], a similar page for the 90s and 2000s. Amazingly, over 900 first-generation home video game consoles are known to exist. More than 200 different companies were involved in the first generation, and while more than half only released one console, it's still a large number of companies compared to the 20 that partook on the second generation. ==First Generation (Pong Consoles)Emulators==It's [[wikipedia:Pong|Pong]]. You can play it [http://www.ponggame.org/ anywhere]. Emulating first generation systems like these can be tricky, as the games were heavily tied to their hardware, and most were just variations of Pong. {|width="100%"|- valign="top"|* [[wikipedia:APF TV Fun series|APF TV Fun]]* [[wikipedia:Video Pinball series|Atari Video Pinball]]<ref group=N name="vps">These 3 bizarre Atari models made use of bumper controllers to control some games.

===Comparisons===;[[Xenia]]:The emulator that's made it the furthest. About 15% of titles can be played through from start to finish and another 60% have functional gameplay. Though the devs say Windows 7 is compatible, the most significant progress is being made on the newer DirectX 12 branch (DX12 is unavailable on anything older than Windows 10). ;[[Fission]]:The official emulator on the [[Xbox One emulators|Xbox One]] and [[Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X/S]] consoles, supports [[wikipedia:List of Xbox 360 games compatible with Xbox One|632 out of 2085 games]]. Load times are faster, but emulation suffers from input lag due to forced [[vsync]]. Beyond this, playback is incredibly faithful to the original system. Xbox One X and Xbox Series X improves on the emulation further with better framerate, texture filtering, higher resolution and auto HDR in some games. Note that an Internet connection is required on the first run of each game to download. ==Emulation issues==<blockquote>[Xenos] was a playground for experiments — it was developed near the end of the Direct3D 9 era, but still before Direct3D 10, and contained many features not standardized or even available at all on the PC, but when they ended up on the PC, the actual implementation could be significantly different; it also included completely unique features. [...] Contrary to a common misconception, the Xbox 360 [isn't] just a “DirectX 9 box”. It essentially contains a [tile-inspired] mobile-like GPU, though with much more raw power than a comparable mobile GPU. If you compare the registers of the Xenos and the Qualcomm Adreno 200, you can see that most of them are the same, as they are almost the same GPUs — the Adreno 200 was called the AMD Z430 before having been acquired by Qualcomm, and was even referred to as the "mini-Xenos"!"<br>-Triang3l<ref>Triang3l (April 27, 2021).
