REVIEWS | XBOX 360

Seventh generation | 2005-2016 | DVD, digital
Games: 2,154 | Units sold: 84m

Microsoft’s highest-selling system overcame reliability issues with its early models (popularised as “red ring of death”) to outpace the PS3. The system's favourable reaction was thanks to a mix of excellent online play, well-optimised third-party software that took advantage of 512MB RAM, as well as the pioneering of Achievements. The 360 saw the birth of exclusives Gears of War and Forza Horizon. Xbox Live Arcade helped champion indie releases, whilst Kinect Adventures, released alongside its innovative motion control device, would sell 24m units.
