A computer game console that was introduced by Microsoft in November, 2001.
In November 2001, Microsoft introduced the XBox video game console.

Unlike other consoles, XBox closely resembles a PC.
It has an Intel Pentium III processor clocked at 700 MHz and an NVIDIA? graphics processor.
The processors share 128 MB of system RAM.
Storage includes a DVD-ROM drive and a hard disk.
However, it's not a true PC, as [digital rights management]? techniques prevent an ordinary user from running code from anything but an official game disc, allowing game developers to assume a [trusted client]?.
