Wow, it’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the Xbox 360 released and gave the games industry a proper shake-up. With SEGA gone as a platform holder and Nintendo floundering as Sony seized power, Xbox took its opportunity to get the jump on PlayStation, releasing the Xbox 360 as the first console of that generation a year before the PS3 (and in some territories, that gap was even bigger). And it worked. Xbox 360 got off to a flying start, backed by some brilliant exclusive games and an industry leading online multiplayer offering.
It’s amazing to see how far gaming has come in the last 20 years! The Xbox 360 really made a significant impact on the gaming community and shaped many of our favorite gaming experiences. Looking forward to the coverage and reminiscing about those memorable moments!
It’s true, the Xbox 360 played a huge role in shaping online gaming with Xbox Live. Its introduction of downloadable games and updates also paved the way for the digital distribution model we see today. Exciting to think about where gaming will go next!
