Can you believe it's been 22 years since we first locked eyes on the Original Xbox? Yep, back at CES 2001, Microsoft unveiled this beast of a machine courtesy of Bill Gates and The Rock. More than two decades later, the famous actor has been reminiscing about the console's grand reveal.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has been looking back on the event with fondness, calling the console reveal a "historical moment".
The Rock goes on to mention Xbox's journey since that time, which has been an eventful one to say the least! We've lived through a few more console launches since then, including the infamous Xbox One reveal in 2013. Never forget the Don (Mattrick)...
Thankfully, the recent arrival of Xbox Series X and S has been a much smoother transition, with Xbox reverting back to its focus on games - a focus that also defined the original Xbox and its launch in 2001!

I'm surprised he resisted the temptation to turn that controller side ways, take Bill down Know Your Role Boulevard to the corner of Jabroni Drive and check him into the Smackdown Hotel!
This is why Nintendo needed John Cena.
@ralphdibny brilliant!
I was more of a PlayStation guy st this time and remember not being impressed at all with the OG and the Duke. But come the 360 era, I was hooked and have never looked back. Proud Series X owner now with an almost 400k gamerscore.
