Which the following video game consoles was created first (oldest to newest)?

The answer here is Nintendo Entertainment System, PlayStation®, Xbox. The Nintendo Entertainment System was first released in 1985, Sony’s PlayStation® launched in 1995, and Microsoft’s® Xbox debuted in 2001.

Xbox, Microsoft’s first entry into the world of console electronic gaming, placed it in direct competition with Sony’s PlayStation 2 and Nintendo’s GameCube.

In 1999, Microsoft initiated plans to create its own console gaming system to directly compete with Sony and others. It wanted to both diversify its product line and capitalize on the thriving gaming industry. Microsoft's system—originally termed the DirectX-box for its use of the eponymous video software—underwent multiple launch delays and several pricing adjustments after it made its debut in 2001. But, despite popular titles such as Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, Microsoft reported in 2005 that it had at that time lost billions of dollars from its Xbox enterprise.

Within the next five years after 2005 by 2010, Xbox 360 had become the most-used game console in the United States. Subsequently, within the last ten years since 2010, the Xbox Live network has boasted more than 30 million subscribers.
