What is an Xbox?

Xbox 360 is the second video game console produced by Microsoft and was developed in collaboration with IBM ATI and SiS. The integrated Xbox Live service allows players access to compete online and download content as arcade games, game demos, trailers, TV programs and movies. Xbox 360 is the successor to the Xbox and competes with Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

The console was sold out soon after it was launched in all regions except Japan, and the 25^th of April 2008, 19 million units were sold across the world. Xbox 360 comes in two different versions: “Arcade console and the Elite console.” Each of them has their own selection of included accessories.
