It may be hard to believe, seeing as the industry is still producing games for it, but Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console has officially turned 10 years old. The successor to the original Xbox console, the 360 competed in the market against Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PlayStation 3 once it released on November 22, 2005.

The 360 was conceived in 2003, just a little more than a year after the original Xbox launched in late 2001. More than 400 developers were invited to support the system, and former Sega of America president Peter Moore joined Microsoft that same year. After hyping the system at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the launch had a lot of buzz about it. The system was supported in North America by a solid launch lineup of software, including Madden NFL 06, Call of Duty 2, and Project Gotham Racing 3.

Though the 360 was immediately popular at launch, the original version of the console was marred with technical difficulties and glitches. Some reported that the system would outright crash with error messages, while others would overheat to the point of ruining the system (and causing the infamous “red ring of death”).

Despite the issues, the console has sold exceedingly well over its live span, with more than 80 million units sold before the 360’s successor the Xbox One, released in 2013. Though it is not the bestselling of its generation (the Nintendo Wii claimed that title) it has experienced a longevity of support that the Wii did not see, and support for the 360 is expected to continue until at least 2016.
