2023-09-12

Hello everyone. I'm Boss from Retro Video Game Republic, and today we're going to talk about Xbox.

Hello everyone! Xbox, right? I know about it! I'm Saori from Retro Video Game Republic, and I don't own one though.

No, that's not it.

What!? It's not!?

What is Xbox?

Xbox is a home gaming console developed and sold by Microsoft Corporation.

It was released overseas in 2001 and in Japan in 2002.
It ultimately recorded sales of 500,000 units in Japan and 24 million units worldwide.

Being a home console developed by Microsoft, which boasts world-leading technology in PC development, the Xbox incorporates many PC technologies.

The image Saori showed earlier was of the Xbox 360. That's the next-generation Xbox console.

So there are two types of Xbox...... I didn't know that.

Xbox is a console that was released overseas, so it features a lot of titles that are not very well-known in Japan.

Since it was released about 20 years ago, many of you may already own the console! Please do check out the Xbox game lineup from this page!
