The debut of Xbox Live occurred just one year after the launch of the original Xbox, enabling players to engage in various online games using a microphone and maintaining contact lists to stay connected with their fellow gamers. This feature was groundbreaking at that time as home internet became more common and user-friendly, giving Xbox an edge over PlayStation 2, which also had its own online features but not to the extent of Xbox’s.
