Hello my name is KIERAN and I am going to talk to you about the history of the Xbox and the Xbox 360.And it's future in online gaming.
Xbox was once one of the greatest consoles of home gaming. the first gaming console that Microsoft released was the "Xbox", it was released on, 2001 in north america, February 2002 in Japan, and in march, 2002 in Australia and Europe. Microsoft is going into its sixth-generation of gaming gaming consoles now.
Microsoft released an update in 2002 which allowed prayers to interact with each other and play online games. it was such a popular feature on the Xbox that the critics stated that Xbox live had a better online experience than Sony's play station 2, although Xbox live needs a subscription.
In November 2005, Microsoft released the Xbox 360; it was the big brother to the first Xbox. the first Xbox was discontinued in north america and in 2006.
the last we saw of the first Xbox was in 2007 when it finally died out due to the Xbox 360 and it was the end of the first generation Xbox.
The successor to the first Xbox is the Xbox 360 which microsoft unveiled on MTV on may 12, 2005 which more information was reviled at E3 2005.
The Xbox was released on November 22, 2005, in the united states and Canada; December 2, 2005, in Europe and December 10, 2005, in Japan.It was launched in 36 countries, more than any other console in a single year.
The main new features of the new Xbox 360 are its integrated Xbox live service that allows players to "complete online" that allows to download arcade games, games, game demo's, trailers, TV shows, music and movie's and its window media Center multimedia capabilities. As well the Xbox 360 also offers region specific access to third-party media streaming application such as Netflix, Iplayer, lovefilm and ESPN in the USA or sky go in the UK, linked to the development of 'kinect'.
The Xbox 360 launched with 14 games in north america and 13 in Europe. the console's best-selling game for 2005, Call Of Duty, sold over a million copies. five other games sold over a million copies in the consoles first year on the market: Ghost Recon advanced war fighter, The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dead or Alive 4, Saints Row and Gears Of war. Gears of war would become the best-selling game on the console with 3 million million copies in 2006, before surpassed in 2007 by Halo 3 with over 8 million copies.
To come to a conclusion we have to think the pro's and con's of the Xbox and the Xbox 360.
Xbox has some really good features like:
good game play and control, good game design and graphics as well as it is very sociable.
good updates. it has a great variety of app's that allows you to convert your Xbox to a PC to surf the Internet.
On the other hand it has negative features such as:
The community is not the best. The connectivity to the console with your Internet is not great.
So in my opinion Microsoft, Xbox 360 is growing but it could be better and looking it has good potential in the gaming market.
