The main probable reason of this massive decision by Microsoft is to make space for its new gen console named "Xbox One" which is supposed to make a great change in the gaming industry.But a probable side reason is the Red Ring of Death,Which frustrated most of the gamers as it ruined their experience of this Great platform.
But all good things do not last forever, As Microsoft Shuts down the production of Xbox 360 to make way for its new and better platform called the Xbox One.
As Microsoft stopped the production of Xbox 360,the company reassured the gamers that they will still support it with Live and Upcoming Gold benefits.Microsoft said that, collectively, gamers spent 78 billion hours gaming on its console, and 25 billion more hours using apps like Netflix. It is seen that Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 were the first consoles ever that were capable of streaming movies and television shows from the internet other than playing games.Microsoft allowed streaming and other apps to become the initial focus of the Xbox One, but the company beat a hasty retreat when gamers protested.
“Xbox 360 means a lot to everyone in Microsoft. And while we’ve had an amazing run, the realities of manufacturing a product over a decade old are starting to creep up on us,” Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox for Microsoft, wrote.
It will still go on
While Microsoft will stop the productions of the Xbox 360, its services will continue unabated,for now.Xbox Live services for the 360 will continue, and the servers that support Xbox 360 such services as multiplayer gaming will remain online and active.
Later on,Microsoft tends to shut down the services of xbox 360 in the next several years so that the gamers can move on to the next gen consoles Such as the Xbox One X or the upcoming new consoles.
