Sales of the console began in November 2001. Xbox was the first console produced by Microsoft [3], which introduced the hardware to the market after the premiere of the competitive Sony PlayStation 2 console, and before the premiere of the GameCube designed by Nintendo. Both of these companies already had some experience in the console market and associated users, but the main target markets for Microsoft's product have become the United States and Europe, previously dominated by devices from Japan. In November 2005, the successor of the Xbox - Xbox 360 appeared on the market. In 2009, representatives of Microsoft announced that support for the Xbox console would be terminated. On April 15, 2010, the Xbox Live service for the first Xbox was turned off [4].
According to data from 2012, around 24 million copies of the console were sold worldwide [5].

It is the first console that uses a hard disk to save game states, instead of expensive memory cards with a small capacity [7]. The hard drive is also used to copy data from a DVD to speed up data access. The console also supported traditional memory cards. The built-in Ethernet port and the Xbox Live network service allow for easy multiplayer gaming.
The executable files used by the Xbox console were in the XBE format [8].
