WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.960 this may look like a boring workstation 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:11.700 from the.com era and it is but the eagle-eyed among you might have noticed 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.120 that it is also adorned in Xbox logos 00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:18.960 that don't quite look like Xbox logos 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.539 that's because this Alpha One dev kit 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:26.699 was the first dev kit created after Microsoft unveiled the big metal X at 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:31.320 GDC back in the year 2000 unlike the big X this one uh 00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:35.340 certainly didn't cost eighteen thousand dollars to build and require a solid 00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:40.320 block of aluminum to be milled for each unit in fact as I'm about to show you it 00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:45.420 is built entirely out of relatively low-cost commodity PC parts that anyone 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:52.620 can get and there's more this 00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:55.079 is the alpha two the second Xbox dev kit 00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:59.760 that's right we have two generations of these things both with working hardware 00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:04.559 and the wildest thing about all of this is that unlike the other console Dev 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:09.000 kits that we've looked at these can be recreated by anyone using leaked 00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:15.299 software that you can just download imagine being able to build your own 00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:17.100 Xbox sort of it's possible most 00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:21.479 you know what isn't possible to do by yourself though segue to our sponsor 00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:26.580 thorum elegant rings made out of unique materials from meteorite to dinosaur 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.040 bones use the code LTT to get 20 off 00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:33.240 today and stay tuned to learn more the Alpha One dev kit isn't very well 00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:38.400 documented so I am really excited to crack this thing open and especially to 00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:42.900 compare it to Alpha 2 which is pretty much a known quantity at this point but 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:47.759 before we do that the origin story for the Xbox project is really interesting 00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:52.259 and it kind of starts with this sticker on the front that says powered by 00:01:49.619 --> 00:01:59.579 DirectX the way the story goes is that the original OS was basically Windows 00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:02.280 2000 but stripped of everything but the 00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:07.799 bare minimum for running DirectX so the name is actually short for DirectX box 00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:12.900 now Bill Gates apparently hated the Prototype bastardized Windows that they 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.920 showed him so much that he screamed at the original team presenting the first 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:20.160 prototype for over two hours on the night of Valentine's Day like late 00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:24.239 enough to where most of them had to cancel dinner with their wives but then 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:28.800 he gave them the go-ahead because he liked how fast it booted and feared that 00:02:26.940 --> 00:02:33.120 the PlayStation 2 would take over the living room while also taking the place 00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:36.900 of the home computer eventually right out of the gate there are some really 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:40.920 fun Hallmarks of early 2000s computer design I mean you'd hate for your Tower 00:02:38.940 --> 00:02:44.819 to tip over right if we were to pry off this fascia here which seems to be just 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:48.239 a piece of sheet aluminum bent and then glued onto the front of a generic case 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:52.319 we could probably figure out the exact model but video gaming historians would 00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:55.920 get super mad about that I'm pretty sure yeah I'm getting the nod and really 00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:00.480 that's not the important part anyway we want to see the guts which yeah 00:02:59.099 --> 00:03:08.040 it's a little what the heck come on your secrets 00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:11.879 wow that is um generic 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.680 yep that right there is about as exciting as your grandpa's PC I mean at 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:22.980 the time it was pretty exciting the motherboard is an Intel vc820 code name 00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:26.400 Vancouver by the way yay go Vancouver as for the CPU I really wanted to pull this 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:31.080 out and give you guys a closer look at it it's got a a Cooler Master cooler on 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:35.640 it young up-and-comer company right there but unfortunately these ancient 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.280 plastic push pins are proving to be a bit of a chore to get out and the last 00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:42.480 thing I want to do is damage any of them so it might have to stay in there but 00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:47.760 that's fine because the reality is it is a run-of-the-mill Intel Pentium 3 733 00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:53.099 megahertz CPU but that's a really interesting story the processor was as 00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:57.780 the legend goes supposed to be AMD who really did have the superior technology 00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.480 at the time but sometime between the 00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:05.220 aluminum monster and the unveiling of what would become the retail Xbox 00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:10.200 Microsoft switched suppliers to Intel AMD though had no idea and they were 00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:15.720 actually sitting in the front row at E3 2001 when they found out that they were 00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:20.040 usurped by Intel sitting feet away from Dwayne The Rock Johnson 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.320 he was presenting the Xbox yeah yeah the Xbox got unveiled by Bill Gates and 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.300 Dwayne The Rock Johnson at E3 2001. 00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:31.199 he's been that culturally relevant for that long moving on to the memory things 00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:35.280 get quite a bit more interesting and thankfully this comes out Rambis is 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.780 probably best known today for its role in the industry as a patent troll but 00:04:37.139 --> 00:04:46.919 back in the late 90s and early 2000s they alongside Intel were pushing Rd RAM 00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:49.259 in this Rim form factor as the next big 00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:53.940 thing in system memory it had a huge advantage in terms of bandwidth over the 00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:59.220 sdram of the time this module right here remember this is from the year 2000 was 00:04:56.580 --> 00:05:02.580 clocked at 400 megahertz and utilized both the rising and falling edge of the 00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:08.520 signal to achieve effectively double that 800 megahertz wow unfortunately it 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:13.860 came at a much higher cost due to its larger dies and allegedly very high 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:18.180 licensing fees to Rambis making matters worse while the bandwidth was much 00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:22.020 higher the latency was also higher meaning that in the real world 00:05:19.340 --> 00:05:27.960 performance on Rambis based systems actually wasn't higher so when DDR SD 00:05:25.259 --> 00:05:33.360 dram came along randice got the boot our Alpha One came with a total of 640 00:05:30.419 --> 00:05:39.600 megabytes of this Rd RAM the 128 megabytes and a second 512 megabyte 00:05:36.780 --> 00:05:45.840 stick and this is the first way in which it differs from our Alpha 2 which 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.500 actually only contains the 128 megabyte 00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:52.440 module and this what in the heck is that 00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:57.360 this is a filler cart because the way that rdram worked you can't just have an 00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:03.300 empty slot on your motherboard you must populate both channels either with a 00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:05.340 single dual Channel module or two single 00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:09.720 Channel modules so you had to use one of these if you wanted to use just the one 00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:14.220 but that's weird why would Alpha 2 need a filler stick and have only one-fifth 00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:18.900 the amount of memory as Alpha One actually that's not that unusual Dev 00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:23.220 kits particularly early ones tend to have more system memory than the final 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:27.060 system and the reason is that the games that they're running on them are not 00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:34.080 exactly optimized at that point in the console's life cycle so our alpha 1 had 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:36.780 640 megabytes our Alpha 2 had 128 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:42.000 megabytes final dev kit had 128 megabytes but the system memory was 00:06:39.539 --> 00:06:47.639 actually shared with the GPU which is different from Alpha 2 and finally the 00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:52.380 retail console had 64 megabytes of shared memory that is less than a tenth 00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:57.720 of our Alpha 1 which either means that the software got that much less bloated 00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:59.819 over time wow or more realistically 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:04.259 means that when this dev kit was repurposed as a software development 00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:08.400 workstation the IT department popped or open for an upgrade and threw in another 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:13.199 stick of memory and that's uh probably not the only thing they upgraded because 00:07:09.900 --> 00:07:16.199 how else would our alpha 1 have a GPU 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.539 that is three generations newer than our 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:23.580 Alpha 2. see how our motherboard has onboard USB and onboard audio and they 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:27.840 added both a USB card which isn't that abnormal just so you could have more USB 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:32.280 ports words but also an add-on audio card that's because within the Xbox OS 00:07:30.419 --> 00:07:37.259 the only functional ports on the motherboard were serial so these are 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:41.699 likely to be close analogs to the audio and USB controllers that ultimately made 00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:46.740 their way into the final console but might not have been included on whatever 00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:52.020 random Intel motherboard that Microsoft used for these systems then there's this 00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:57.840 raid card okay so this bad boy is called a raptor and it was used for DVD 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.819 mastering that is kind of all we really 00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:04.500 know about it at this point it connected to a 40 Gigabyte hard drive that could 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:09.240 hold all the DVD information and if you weren't mastering a game disc it was not 00:08:06.599 --> 00:08:12.900 particularly useful and maybe even made it slightly worse when these were 00:08:10.919 --> 00:08:17.220 deployed as workstations it apparently functioned just as a regular raid card 00:08:15.539 --> 00:08:21.960 coming back to our alpha one for a second we are missing both the raid card 00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:26.280 and that special sound card which could be a big problem for us you see the 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:31.800 stripped down version of Windows 2000 that these run only contain support for 00:08:29.400 --> 00:08:37.080 the exact Hardware that it's expecting to run on so if we don't have exactly 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:41.640 the right Alpha One components this thing isn't going to boot and since 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:46.680 alpha 1 is relatively Uncharted Territory we're not even going to know 00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:48.660 necessarily what parts have been ripped 00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:52.980 out and put back in when this was Frankenstein's together as a workstation 00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:58.500 I mean it's a functioning computer as it is it just wouldn't boot up into any of 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.600 the dev builds that we tried and we made it as far as December 2000 which should 00:09:00.839 --> 00:09:07.200 have worked but didn't we could have started ripping Hardware out of Alpha 2 00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:10.560 and putting it in here but we had no way of knowing if that was actually going to 00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:14.820 work and really Alpha 2 is the more interesting one from a gaming standpoint 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:17.820 anyway can we fire it up now one other fun thing while we're getting set up for 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:23.220 that is you guys might have noticed that the floppy drives in these are facing 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:27.720 backwards as far as I can tell the only reason for that is that when they put on 00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:32.279 that front fascia piece in order to have it look cool and Sleek they covered up 00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:35.940 all the rest of the external five and a quarter inch bays and external three and 00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:40.019 a half inch Bays that would have been on the stock case you still kind of needed 00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:43.500 a floppy drive back then for you know installing your operating system or just 00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:47.399 like loading software onto the computer so they would have had to throw these in 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:51.540 and I'm assuming anyone using them would have had to pop the panel and like throw 00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:55.680 a diskette in there if they ever needed to use a floppy that's freaking 00:09:53.160 --> 00:10:00.360 hilarious also can I just say that I love this PCI card retention mechanism 00:09:58.140 --> 00:10:06.420 it's a little janky like this support braces at an angle for some reason but 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.220 man those cards are in there that is 00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:12.720 awesome something to note is that even if you have all the correct hardware for 00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:17.100 your generation of alpha that doesn't mean you can just load up Windows 2000 00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:21.420 strip out the extra bits and start playing Xbox games the software that 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:25.920 these run is highly Microsoft proprietary and should never have 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:28.800 actually left Microsoft from legal standpoint it's thanks to software 00:10:27.300 --> 00:10:32.580 preservationists that we were able to download it from archive.org and while 00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:36.839 we were willing to take that risk we can't in any way guarantee that that 00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:40.620 software hasn't been tampered with so you would do so at your own Peril if you 00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:45.240 did find yourself wanting to build one of these though one of the hardest pieces of Hardware to get your hands on 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:49.440 is going to be the sound card because they've been out of production for kind 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:54.540 of a long time fortunately a net is in by the name of N64 freak has actually 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.480 created a blueprint that you can send to 00:10:54.540 --> 00:11:01.920 an overseas PCB manufacturer to have one made for yourself an exact replica of it 00:10:59.579 --> 00:11:05.339 for about 50 US dollars so if you're interested in playing around with it 00:11:03.060 --> 00:11:09.480 that is an option though as you can see if you just want to play Xbox games 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:13.860 there's no advantage to one of these versus just getting your hands on an old 00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:18.660 Xbox we're in the dashboard right now and the build you're looking at is from 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:21.180 about May of 2001 so this is around the 00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:25.620 E3 time frame and about six months prior to the actual launch of the Xbox what we 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:30.540 need to check right now before we go any further is to make sure that our oh nope 00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:33.380 nope to make sure that our audio recording is working 00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:42.540 ooh parental control 00:11:39.959 --> 00:11:45.839 yeah that evidently does nothing at this stage 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:50.160 uh okay is this all I can really do with this one or what yeah so if you want to 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:57.360 load a new xdk you actually have to restart the system oh and the way to do 00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:58.920 that is power button oh wow up top 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:04.079 other side oh my gosh that feels awful one moment 00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:10.920 please bump lens and I guess this is just showing off a light Distortion 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.980 rendering effect of some sort 1300 FPS 00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:17.160 damn Daniel I I just have to shut the 00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:19.740 whole thing down now yep okay well that 00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:24.839 was worth it credit to the team it does boot really fast yeah like now think 00:12:22.260 --> 00:12:28.140 about how fast Windows 2000 loads yeah this is back in the days of three and a 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:34.620 half minutes this is not a hard drive guys a slow slow mechanical hard drive 00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:39.260 they really did optimize the crap out of 00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:42.360 this thing okay dolphin classic now with 00:12:39.260 --> 00:12:44.220 1100 FPS I think I've seen about enough 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:46.760 of that dolphin swimming around oh 00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:55.760 wow turn it turn it back off and turn it 00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:55.760 back on again yep 00:12:57.899 --> 00:13:04.680 I didn't press the button but it's probably fine I mean other than the 00:13:02.459 --> 00:13:09.720 resolution that's not bad so they're showing real-time Shadows working and 00:13:07.079 --> 00:13:12.480 then what is this that is our IP address if we were to plug this into a network 00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:18.079 it would actually show us what the IP address of the system is and with that 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:23.040 we can hook up a developer's workstation and use the xdk software in order to 00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:30.060 load up games onto here so that's actually how Simpson's road rage got put 00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:32.880 on there E3 demo 50 complete okay can I 00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:36.480 even change which driver I am ah there we go well obviously groundskeeper 00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:39.660 Willie even loading off a hard drive this is pretty awful I've never played 00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:43.019 the original game though so maybe you guys can shed some insight into whether 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:47.760 this is normal or whether this is just because it's an early build that's a lot 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:53.180 of it's a lot of loading screen all right nice 00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:53.180 what's this 12 seconds what's 00:13:55.380 --> 00:14:01.860 get game mode I clearly do not understand this game 00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:06.480 very well I haven't verified this I only heard about it this morning but 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:09.180 apparently you can plug in a keyboard no 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:13.380 way remember remember with the PS3 how we could plug in a keyboard and access a 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:17.639 console I guess we'll find out soon enough oh this is I don't think this 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:22.620 supports hot plugging Windows 2000 didn't even get support for USB 2 until 00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:26.700 Service Pack 4 and we have to run service pack one so it's only got 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:30.660 support for USB one which definitely doesn't have some of the Creature 00:14:28.260 --> 00:14:34.800 Comforts of modern USB I think we should try a PS2 keyboard just for lol's humor 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:40.199 me you never know when you're gonna need a PS2 keyboard Tanner that's why I 00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:43.680 always keep one in a nearby drawer there we go 00:14:41.339 --> 00:14:49.199 we got lights on this bad boy oh what is this that's the uh that's the BIOS they 00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:52.740 had a customized bio splash screen yeah that's freaking awesome I didn't even 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.980 know you could do that back then I mean you can now every system integrator does 00:14:54.540 --> 00:15:00.420 it but back then I don't think that was a thing this does not appear to be doing 00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:04.440 anything there might be some hacky way to do this but maybe it's not a default 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:08.459 Behavior there was another build of this game that I could not find where they 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:14.100 didn't have all the voices finalized yet so instead of hearing Homer's voice you 00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:16.260 would just hear a Microsoft Sam kind of 00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:22.019 voice read off the file name oh that's awesome nice hey I'm getting better at 00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:24.500 this let's go oh yeah I'm a road rage Pro now 00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:33.720 look Brandon it's an Xbox but it's a 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.699 computer it's the DirectX box 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:39.660 uh yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna get ten thousand dollars I've never played this 00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:43.880 game before it's fun but we have videos to shoot 00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:43.880 come on move it 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:53.220 yes all right let's try another game and 00:15:50.760 --> 00:15:56.639 to do that we're gonna show you how we can actually load games onto this thing 00:15:54.899 --> 00:16:01.199 because you can't just like pop a game disc into the front oh wait can you do 00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:05.399 that Tanner there were some game discs that were made that you could do that 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:11.100 with really um they were all green discs green discs 00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:15.120 uh but we don't have any we don't have anything they're quite rare okay they're 00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:18.600 usually Dev builds they were also sometimes completed builds that were 00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:22.920 just sent off to members of the press though and they actually continued past 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:26.880 the lifespan of the Alpha One and Alpha 2. so those continued on throughout the 00:16:24.839 --> 00:16:30.060 life cycle of the Xbox now that we've connected both of these machines to our 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:34.199 Network they can actually see each other and all we have to do is take one of 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:39.180 these games that we have on our local hard drive here like say for example 00:16:36.180 --> 00:16:41.880 dark Summit and drag it over to the 00:16:39.180 --> 00:16:47.160 shared folder on our Xbox no estimated time it takes as long as it takes which 00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:52.940 is a lot more honest than what they give us now like I guess I'm having the early 00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:52.940 2000s game developer experience 00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:58.740 time to go get some coffee and this 00:16:57.300 --> 00:17:03.959 you're cool I didn't actually notice this before but these are not just two 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:08.419 File Explorer Windows this is XB Explorer which presumably stands for 00:17:09.179 --> 00:17:16.079 I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding Xbox 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.419 the look on his face he was like I 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:21.780 worked for an idiot anyway Xbox Explorer and it allows us to do all kinds of cool 00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:26.819 things so we can select our Target machine we can reboot the Xbox remotely 00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:30.199 actually that's about it about all we can do but 00:17:31.020 --> 00:17:36.660 we didn't try this before filming but our understanding is that the mob 2T 00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:40.799 version of dark Summit was supposed to be the playable one clearly not loading 00:17:38.520 --> 00:17:43.799 on our Alpha 2 so let's try the debug version and see if we have a bit more 00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:49.559 luck with that I really kind of missed the loading bar now yeah 00:17:46.320 --> 00:17:52.620 no wait no I'm kidding I'm kidding what 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:54.179 the crap that was so fast wait oh 00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:59.960 because it doesn't have to do a full system reset it just resets the software 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:04.559 oh that's awesome version 00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:07.919 010101.0 no game object data oh look at 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:12.480 that hairdo though whoa here we go oh oh 00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:14.880 okay uh which pad am I supposed to 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:20.480 my controller is not working I don't think my controller is doing anything uh 00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:23.220 oh man am I ever gonna get down oh boy 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:26.900 oh I don't think so I think I'm stuck hey there we go oh no 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:33.320 no this is early 2000's game design Brandon 00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:44.039 experience is how basic and commodity and almost kind of bootstrap the origin 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:48.720 of the Xbox is they just took off the shelf honestly not even amazing 00:18:46.679 --> 00:18:52.620 computers turned them into a development platform and just a couple of years 00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:59.100 later the ball was rolling on what would become the Juggernaut that Xbox is today 00:18:55.620 --> 00:19:01.980 just 20 short years later the tools were 00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:06.360 janky they clearly had no experience no right to be there compared to the 00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:11.039 powerhouses at the time Nintendo Sega Sony and yet 00:19:08.580 --> 00:19:15.960
