Microsoft Corp. said on Wednesday it would stop production of its popular Xbox 360 video game console, which helped the company gain a firm foothold in the market.
More than 80 million units of the console have been sold since it was launched in 2005.
Xbox 360 also introduced Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing game device. It was the company’s primary gaming console, until it launched the Xbox One in 2013.
The Xbox 360 launched with a number of popular video games including Activision Blizzard Inc.’s “Call of Duty 2” and Electronic Arts Inc.’s “Need for Speed: Most Wanted”.
Microsoft said in a blog post it would continue to sell existing inventory of the consoles, and that it would continue to provide customer support.
The company’s Xbox Live network, which allows online multi-player gaming, will continue to be available for the Xbox 360.
