Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft ending Xbox 360 Production

Never got to game on it. Maybe a shame or maybe not. There were times when Gears 2 and Alan Wake tempted me but PS3 kept me engaged well enough.

Big Boss Salute

Awesome console with varied library from 2005-2009

Post Kinect meh, Halo/Gears/Forza trio didn't do me much.

What about Super Meat Boy, Shadow Complex, Minecraft, BattleBlock Theater, Bastion, no?

I don't really do small indie games, I can find those everywhere.

It doesn't have to be blockbuster AAA either, just retail games with high enough produxion valuez. The 360 used to get nice exclusives from 1st and 3rd party(and Japan) but that all changed after 2009, all that seemed to be left were Halo/Forza/Gears. Alan Wake was the only exception. Fable 3 was such an awful disappointing game.



Legendary achievement for it to stay this long. 10 of the best gaming years of my life. Must have clocked well over 1000 hours on Halo 3, Halo 4 and Gears of War 3 alone.

And they way gaming is heading, I doubt anything will ever come close to it again. Some of the best IP's you will ever see started life on the 360, Bioshock, Gears, Mass Effect... quality stuff. 

Last gen was simply the best. I can't see how anyone could have been dissatisfied by the PS360 combo.

What about poor Wii?

"When asked specifically when Microsoft will move from the 360 to another console, Kim claims they'll one-up Sony by making the 360's lifespan last "one day longer than the lifespan of the PlayStation 3". That's big, seeing that Sony is predicting their PS3 will last a 10 year life cycle. You heard it here first, the Xbox 360 will be around for 10 years and 1 day 355 days."

Close but no cigar!


On the real though, congrats on 10 years!

Lasted 10.5 years, so not bad. And we'll still see the console being supported.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Bioshock and Mass Effect were so good I bought them on the PS3 as well just so I could get the trophies for them while playing through them again.



11 Years is a helluva lot longer then most people would have thought 10 years ago. It was an interesting generation the 7th generation. Lots of amazing gaming memories for all console fans. And 360 helped to bring some things to console that perhaps never would have been: Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and probably a few others. So I guess even though I don't like MS, and I've never played on 360, I am grateful for some of the influence 360 had on console gaming.

Maybe I should finally buy one now.

Great run Microsoft. Proved the naysayers wrong after the short lifespan of the original Xbox. Shows longevity.

Please Watch/Share this video so it gets shown in Hollywood.

All that's left is the PS3 and the seventh gen can fuck off forever.
