How do you feel about the xbox 360 store shutting down next year?

Keep in mind the 360 marketplace is shutting down next year

They are not going to shut the servers down, Do your research. They will be still making new games for the 360 for at least two years. And why would they shut it down if they had just came out with a new 360 ( I`m not talking about the xbox one). Besides
that, The Xbox is just a river of money for Microsoft. If they shut it down then profits would go down. Before starting a thread like this make sure you know what your talking about.

[quote user="Dichotomy1968"]Sorry about the rant. But if they are gonna do it they SHOULD say straight out exactly when it will happen, and if they are not they should put the rumors to rest.

What are you talking about? This thread was created a year ago. When the OP say's "next year", hew is referring to the year we are currently in. The year that is a few months away from finishing. If they were to shut down
the Xbox 360 servers (which will happen eventually), I will bet real money that it will not be this year. I'm also confident that it won't even be next year (2016).

Look back on what they have already done. On February 5th 2010, Microsoft announced that they would be shutting down Xbox Live for the original Xbox. It was then shut down on April 15th 2010. This was more than 4 years after
the Xbox 360 launch. No game had been produced for the original Xbox since 'Madden 09', which came out August 15 2008. The 360 is a much cheaper product than it ever has been. The 360 is being played online by more people than the original Xbox did. The
numbers of original Xbox players on Xbox Live are decreasing rapidly.



Fast forward to now (close to 2 years after the Xbox One launch). Games are still being produced for the Xbox 360. There are still more active Xbox 360 players than Xbox One players. The cost of the Xbox One has yet to significantly
drop. The Xbox 360 has just had a major system update. The Xbox 360 still has plenty of life in it yet.

I don't expect there to be any shut down of Xbox Live on Xbox 360 until about a year and a half after the release of the last Xbox 360 game.

I really think what's going to happen is that the 360 will lose support, but the servers will stay up for a while longer. Wasn't that how the original xbox ended?

New games are still being released for the 360 so nothing to worry about at the moment.

And also remember that companies like Bungie have promised on-line support for games like Destiny for x number of years (8 years I think it read in the original press release).
