Microsoft no Longer Manufacturing Xbox 360

Xbox 360 game servers will stay online.

Microsoft has announced that it has ended production of the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 was made available back in November 2005, and has sold more that 84 million units.

"While we've had an amazing run, the realities of manufacturing a product over a decade old are starting to creep up on us," Xbox boss Phil Spencer said in a statement. "Which is why we have made the decision to stop manufacturing new Xbox 360 consoles. We will continue to sell existing inventory of Xbox 360 consoles, with availability varying by country."

Microsoft also said that Xbox 360 game servers will stay online, and services like Games With Gold and Deals With Gold will continue on Xbox 360.

"The Xbox 360 helped redefine an entire generation of gaming at Microsoft," Spencer said. "I am incredibly proud of all of the work and dedication that went into development of the Xbox 360 hardware, services, and games portfolio over the last decade. And I'm grateful to the fans for their continued passion and support."

Spencer also revealed that Xbox 360 players have played over 78 billion hours, got almost 486 billion Gamescore, unlocked over 27 billion achievements, and spent 25 billion hours using apps.
