Xbox 360 is one of the iconic home gaming consoles that represent the 2000s.
The Xbox 360 was developed and released by Microsoft Corporation in 2005 and has gained worldwide popularity as a home gaming console.
The '360' in its name implies delivering entertainment in all directions, covering a full 360 degrees.
Being a gaming console, it naturally focuses on enhancing game quality, and it particularly emphasizes additional game features like DLCs, in-game rankings, online battles, and online streaming.

There are differences in the Xbox 360 console in its initial, mid, and late stages. For example, wireless LAN features were incorporated into the mid and late versions, making its internal features quite different depending on when it was released.
As a home gaming console developed and sold by Microsoft Corporation, it has a very high affinity with computers like Windows PCs.
For example, you can use its wired controller as a USB gamepad connected to a Windows PC, and the camera for Xbox Live can also be used as a PC webcam. When you want to develop your own software, having a Windows PC makes it possible, truly living up to the '360' name with its multi-faceted capabilities.
