The highly anticipated Xbox One reveal from Microsoft may not have been the best of the starts for the console, but it certainly doesn’t mean that Microsoft has forgotten all about its 360 console that brought the company so much profit over the years.
Executive Phil Spencer of Microsoft Game Studios, in a recent interview with GameSpot, says: “I think the [Xbox 360] is going to be very vibrant for many years. In fact, we have a huge, I think it’s huge, [Xbox 360] announcement for E3 that I keep wanting to talk about, but I can’t.”
“I think it will surprise people. I loved what we did last year with Minecraft; bring Minecraft to the box; six million units later it’s kind of a beast. I think there’s a lot of life in the [Xbox 360] for years to come,” he added.
Now nobody really knows as to what this “huge announcement” is all about, but if seen from a more rational point of view, it could easily mean that Microsoft is either planning a complete system re-design of the Xbox 360 or maybe the company is planning a price drop of the console.
The 360 has been the top-selling console in the United States for 28 consecutive months (and still going strong), and Microsoft has sold over 77 million Xbox 360 units worldwide to date and there are about 46 million Xbox Live membership users.
