RIP, Xbox 360: Microsoft stops production after ten great years

Microsoft today advised it has finally stopped producing its (arguably, of course) best console.

Xbox head Phil Spencer took to Xbox Wire to bid farewell to the last-generation console, saying, “I want to personally thank the Xbox community – that includes the vast and diverse audience of gamers, developers and publishers who brought so much passion and creativity to the Xbox 360.

“You are the heart of what we do at TEAM XBOX, and you have been critical to the success of Xbox 360.”

Spencer stressed that Microsoft will still support the Xbox 360 even though it will no longer be produced. Xbox Live services will continue, providing access to online multiplayer, parties and more.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
