After 10 years in the market, Microsoft announced last Wednesday (20) that it will no longer produce the Xbox 360 console. Microsoft spokesman Phil Spencer said it was complicated to continue a console with more than 10 years of existence and that this would be the end of its life cycle, responsible for transforming the company into one of the names more respected in the gaming industry.
According to surveys, more than 84 million units were sold worldwide and 78 billions of hours spent on games. From now on, there will be no new units to be produced and the company will only work with available stock until it runs out.
Spencer confirms that no other service connected to Xbox 360 will disappear, users of the platform will continue to receive support and nothing will be interrupted with regard to game servers. Microsoft will not fail to offer the opportunity to purchase titles physically and online, as well as the availability of compatible hardware accessories.
I want to personally thank the Xbox community - which includes a vast and diverse audience of players, developers and publishers who have brought a lot of passion and creativity to Xbox 360. You are the heart of the Xbox team and you were essential to the success of Xbox 360. Spencer finished.
Will someone miss?
