初代 Xbox 主机今日欢度 15 岁生日 软件业巨擘进军家用游戏市场的初试啼声之作

　　美国软件巨擘微软（Microsoft）于 2001 年 11 月 15 日在北美地区首卖，开启旗下家用游乐器主机事业的初代「Xbox」主机，今日（2016 年 11 月 15 日）正式迎接诞生 15 周年纪念。



Xbox 主机搭配尺寸较大的初期型控制器

　　Xbox 是以 Windows 操作系统称霸 PC 软件产业的美国微软公司挑战家用游乐器主机的产品，名称来自微软制定的「DirectX」多媒体暨游戏应用程序界面标准，意即「运行 DirectX 的盒子」。 2001 年 11 月 15 日以 299 美元的价格率先在北美地区上市，后陆续于日本与欧洲地区推出。

　　Xbox 的硬件基于微软擅长的 Wintel PC 架构设计，配备 intel 提供的 Pentium III 处理器（频率 733MHz），由 NVIDIA 提供、整合 GeForce 3 GPU 的 NV2A 北桥芯片（频率 233MHz），64MB DDR SDRAM 内存（带宽 6.4GBps），5 倍速 DVD-ROM 光驱，内建 8GB 大容量硬盘机。



　　Xbox 采用以 Windows NT 核心为基础的操作系统，搭配最新 DirectX 8.1 应用程序界面，导入首个大规模应用与高度普及率的游戏网络平台服务「Xbox LIVE」，奠定了 Xbox 家族的架构。

　　在微软不惜巨资的投入之下，Xbox 具备超越同期竞争产品 PS2、NGC 的硬件处理效能、软件开发环境与网络平台服务。 不过因为是微软初次挑战游乐器事业的产品，加上比继承上一代霸业的 PS2 晚 1 年多上市，因此并未取得市场领先地位（※1）。 但 2400 万台的累计销售台数仍成功超越老牌厂商任天堂同期上市的 NGC（※2）。 特别是在北美市场取得 1600 万台的普及台数，旗下独占游戏《最后一战 2》更是缔造超过 800 万套的销售量，奠定了 Xbox 家族后续发展的根基。

※1：PS2 于 2000 年 3 月 4 日上市，累计销售台数约 1 亿 5500 万台
※2：NGC 于 2001 年 9 月 14 日上市，累计销售台数约 2174 万台

　　在记取上市时机的教训后，微软抢先于 2005 年 11 月 22 日在北美地区推出 Xbox 的后继机种「Xbox 360」，使得 Xbox 成为同世代主机中产品生命周期最短的一台，两代间隔仅 4 年。 后继的 Xbox 360 则成功引领高分辨率世代游乐器的发展，相隔 8 年才推出后继机种「Xbox One」，直到今年 4 月才宣布停产，前后生产贩卖超过 10 年之久，是游乐器史上数一数二长寿的机种。

Then on December 16, in Outlast, play as the investigative journalist, Miles Upshur, who finds himself trapped in a nerve-racking mental asylum whose patients have been twisted by a dark secret.
