This is a great quote from Ferricide over on Gamespy.com about the comparison between the Genesis and the Xbox.

"Actually, in many ways the Xbox reminds me of a second coming of the Genesis: it's black, nubbly and designed to appear technologically cool, the controller is too big, and it's jam-packed with too many action and sports games and too little else."

Yup. I like my Xbox (esp. with KOTOR on it now) but it definately does seem like the Genesis in that it may be the most powerful system at the time, but the software really isn't there to back it up.
