Microsoft Confirms Original Xbox Support

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday January 25, 2006 @10:08AM from the not-fading-that-quickly dept.

GamesIndustry.biz reports that, despite rumours to the contrary, Microsoft is continuing support for their original console through the end of this year. From the article: "While we do not have other titles to announce at this time, we are committed to providing existing Xbox customers with exciting gaming experiences in 2006. There are 200 Xbox titles expected to ship this year. It is the responsibility of the first party to create genre-defining games for its platform and we are taking that stance with both Xbox and Xbox 360. We feel we have an amazing ecosystem with third parties providing content to Xbox at this time."

end of the year? by acvh · 2006-01-25 10:17 · Score: 1, Offtopic

as I recall Nintendo was still making and selling the NES when the N64 was on the market. Sony is (or was recently) still selling the PS1. Yet Microsoft is cutting off the xbox now?

looks like they're using their Windows/Office strategy on the console now.
