Xbox is the predecessor to Microsoft's Xbox 360 console.
The Xbox 360 is the first console to have a near-simultaneous launch across the three major regions, and the first to provide wireless controller support at launch.
The Xbox 360 sold out completely at release and by the end of September 2006 had sold 6 million worldwide.
The end of OurColony came on May 12, 2005, with the release of a video where J Allard of Microsoft showed off the Xbox 360 console.
The Xbox 360 was released on November 22, 2005, in the United States and Canada; December 2, 2005, in Europe and December 10, 2005, in Japan.
Microsoft is predicting that with the Xbox 360, a greater market share, yearly revenue through their Xbox Live service, and falling hardware costs will eventually make system sales profitable.
An Xbox Live Silver account does not generally support multiplayer gaming; however, some games that feature their own subscription service can be played with a Silver account.
The console's graphical user interface is the Xbox 360 Dashboard; a tabbed interface that features four "Blades".
The full list of backward-compatible games is maintained at Xbox.com.
The console features 512 MB of 700 megahertz GDDR3 RAM on a 128-bit bus.
