Microsoft to Support Xbox 360 "Years" Following Xbox One's Launch

REDMOND, Wa. August 8 - Unlike the treatment, or lack thereof, given to the original Xbox following the launch of the Xbox 360, Microsoft will be supporting their outgoing 360 "years" into the Xbox One's life, Microsoft Studios VP Phil Spencer told the Official Xbox Magazine UK in an interview published today.

"Last generation was different for us, we moved pretty quickly. This time, you will see us staying committed to the Xbox 360," Spencer said. "I think it's a great platform. In certain areas, like trying to switch apps quickly, it shows that it was built in a different era, but in terms of the price point, the content library - I don't have the stats, but I bet it's the largest content library ever created in the history of the game space."

Spencer added that Microsoft will be committed to both the "content side [of the 360] as well as the platform itself".
