Sales this week for next-generation consoles experienced a decrease at auction website Ebay.
Nintendo Co.'s Wii fell two percent from previous records, Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 fell seven percent, and Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 dropped 29 percent.
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
They're far more available now than a few months ago, although the Wii has stayed in short supply. The PS3 market is down primarily because the surge of demand--and excessive price gouging--after the launch has also died due to greater supply. The only systems that should sell now are the ones with good premiums; i.e. extra controllers, games, et al.
We need more people gaming! It's not about system vs. system for me anymore. I'm sorry for that by the way. I'm devoted to preserving gaming as an art and form of KICK ARSE EXPRESSIONISM. No, I'm not a tree hugger...in fact...i'm gonna go shoot a tree right now!
But we really need to put down our 10 point power swords and lay off the manna.
I WILL get flamed for this, but...GAMERS UNITE!!!
