Microsoft has vowed to continue supporting the Xbox 360 for "years," despite the imminent arrival of its successor, the Xbox One.
Quizzed by OXM on how much longer the platform holder will be supporting the Xbox 360, corporate VP of Microsoft Studios Phil Spencer said: "Years. Last generation was different for us, we moved pretty quickly. This time, you will see us staying committed to the Xbox 360."
He added: "I think it's a great platform. In certain areas, like trying to switch apps quickly, it shows that it was built in a different era, but in terms of the price point, the content library - I don't have the stats, but I bet it's the largest content library ever created in the history of the game space."
Spencer believes now is a great time to get into the Xbox 360, and added that you can expect more games for the system in the future.
"It's something we'll remain committed to on the content side as well as the platform itself," he concluded.

The Xbox 360 is creeping its way towards the magical £99 price point, making it a hugely tempting platform given its wealth of games and services – something the similarly powered Wii U simply can't offer.
As an entry level console the Xbox 360 shouldn't hurt sales of Xbox One either.
