For the most part, Xbox is considered one of the most underrated gaming consoles in the selected few hardware that have made gaming easier for fans. But what is even more surprising is that most of the time there has been a cold war between Xbox and PlayStation that continues to date. But there was a time when Xbox was considered one of the best consoles on the market after it was launched in 2001 by Bill Gates and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Notably, The Rock recently retweeted a post by the official Game of the Year account sharing the fact that 07 January was the 22nd birthday of Xbox when it was first revealed by Dwayne and Gates together at CES.

“Pretty cool historical moment with @BillGates and the fella who’s famous for only wearing a fanny pack. As we revealed to the world for the very first time. Bill and I have been broad banning, twinning and tequila drinking ever since,” tweeted Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson. “What a journey for Xbox,” he wrote further.
Notably, even though The Rock is not very open about his gaming obsession, it seems that he himself has been a part of several gaming ventures, making him one of the most featured real-life celebrities in video games.
