We're going to have a lot of anniversaries to celebrate over the next 12 months as the original Xbox approaches its 25th birthday, and one of those is the famous unveiling of the console by Bill Gates and Dwayne Johnson at CES 2001.

This was undoubtedly a historic moment for Xbox and Microsoft — one that went over extremely well and remains fondly remembered to this day — and even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson seems to have nostalgia for it these days too.

In recent years, he's commented on a couple of occasions about the unveiling from January 6th, 2001 (be warned of some profanity in the first tweet):

Of course, the original Xbox didn't have a release date or any official prices when it was unveiled at CES 2001, with Microsoft waiting until the E3 convention in May to reveal that information. Halo was one of the titles that received lots of attention at that show, going on to prove a massive hit alongside the console's launch on November 15th.

So, yeah — it's officially been a quarter of a century since we first laid eyes on the original Xbox! We're hoping for plenty of celebrations throughout the year leading up to the anniversary of the launch date, and perhaps The Rock or Bill Gates might even show up to celebrate it at some point as well.

We'll leave you with a separate behind the scenes video from January 6th's unveiling down below:
