Overview
Development Known during development as Xenon, Xbox 2, Xbox Next or NextBox, the Xbox 360 was conceived in early 2003.[6] In February 2003, planning for the Xenon software platform began, and was headed by Microsoft VP J Allard.[6] That month, Microsoft held an event for 400 developers in Bellevue, Washington, to recruit support for the system.[6] Also that month, Peter Moore, former president of Sega of America, joined Microsoft. On August 12, 2003, ATI signed on to produce the graphic processing unit for the new console, a deal which was publicly announced two days later.[7] The following month, IBM signed on to develop the triple-core CPU for the console.[6] Before the launch of the Xbox 360, several alpha development kits were spotted using Apple's Power Mac G5 hardware. Microsoft chose to use these systems for their PowerPC architecture, which is similar to that of the Xenon CPU used in the system. Unfortunately, the framerates suffered running the Xbox 360 games on the G5. A rough estimate placed the G5 at about one-third as powerful as the 360, and not powerful enough to properly run the Xbox 360 titles on display at full speed.[8] On October 24, 2005, Microsoft shut down Xbox Live for a day to upgrade it for the Xbox 360.[9] In computing, a platform describes some sort of framework, either in hardware or software, which allows software to run. ...

Launch -
The promotional campaign for Xbox 360 began on March 14, 2005, with the opening of an alternate reality game called OurColony. Throughout March and April it offered challenges to its community, rewarding solutions with cropped pictures of the console and game screenshots. The end of OurColony came on May 12, 2950, with the release of a video where J Allard of Microsoft showed off the Xbox 360 console. The official unveiling of the Xbox 360 occurred the same day on MTV in a program called MTV Presents: The Next Generation Xbox Revealed.

BusinessWeek magazine compiled a report that estimates the total cost of components in the standard bundle at US$525 at launch,[13] excluding manufacturing costs, meaning that Microsoft initially lost money on every Xbox 360 system sold. The strategy of selling a console at a loss or near-loss is common in the console games industry, as console makers expect to make up the loss through game licensing. Since Microsoft owns the intellectual property rights to the hardware used in the Xbox 360, they can easily switch to new fabrication processes or change suppliers in the future to reduce costs. Thanks to streamlined processes and ample component supplies, a report from iSuppli released on November 16, 2006, estimates the total cost of components in the pro bundle is US$323.30.[14] This flexibility stands in contrast to the situation Microsoft faced with the original Xbox, where manufacturing costs were never reduced below the break-even point.[15] Microsoft is predicting that with the Xbox 360, a greater market share, yearly revenue through their Xbox Live service, and falling hardware costs will eventually make system sales profitable.[16] BusinessWeek is a business magazine published by McGraw-Hill. ...

Microsoft is moving to the 65 nanometer manufacturing process (from the current 90 nm) later this year,[18] for both the CPU and GPU. This would reduce the amount of heat the console produces, meaning it can run quieter and cooler than current models. The 65 nanometer (65 nm) process is (as of 2006) the most advanced lithographic node for volume semiconductor manufacturing, however it will soon be eclipsed when 45 nanometer lithography becomes commercially viable. ...
The 90 nm node refers to the level of semiconductor process technology that was reached in the 2002-2003 timeframe, by most leading semiconductor companies, like Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM, and TSMC. The origin of the 90 nm value is historical, as it represents a 70% scaling every 2-3...

In 2007, Microsoft announced a revision to the Xbox 360's hardware, designed to take advantage of the console's popularity as a media-delivery system.[27] The Xbox 360 Elite is the third and most expensive variation of the console. By making variations of the console, Microsoft hopes to appeal to all types of gamers. The Elite is different from the other variations in that it includes HDMI output, a 120 GB hard drive included, and a black case. The Elite retail package also includes an HDMI cable, and a black controller and headset to match the system's black finish.[28] This version of the console was previously known under the codename Zephyr. On March 27, 2007, Microsoft confirmed that the Elite would be released in the United States on April 29, 2007[29] and in Canada on May 4, 2007 as a mainstay to the Xbox 360 line and not a 'limited edition' version as originally speculated. The initial release price was US$479.99[30] and C$549.99.[31] On July 10, 2007 at E3 2007, Microsoft announced that the Xbox 360 Elite will be coming to Europe on August 24, 2007, and is expected to be priced at £329.99 in the UK.[citation needed] The Xbox 360 Elite console. ...

Xbox Live -
When the Xbox 360 initially launched, Microsoft's online gaming service Xbox Live went through a major upgrade, adding a basic non-subscription service, Silver, to its already established premium subscription-based service, Gold. Xbox Live Silver is free of charge and allows users to create a user profile, join on message boards, as well as access Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade and Marketplace and talk to other members.[37] An Xbox Live Silver account does not generally support multiplayer gaming; however, some games that feature their own subscription service can be played with a Silver account. Xbox Live supports voice communication along with video communication, a feature possible with the Xbox Live Vision; an add-on USB web camera designed specifically for the Xbox 360.[38] Xbox Live is a subscription-based online gaming service for Microsofts Xbox and Xbox 360 video game consoles. ...

Backward compatibility -
Backward compatibility is achieved through software emulation of the original Xbox. Emulated games offer graphical enhancements because they are rendered in 720p, 1080i, or 1080p HD resolution with anti-aliasing enabled rather than the Xbox standard of 480p;[51] anti-aliasing is also applied when the output resolution is 480p. Some games also benefit from an improvement in the rendered draw distance, possibly due to the system's greater memory bandwidth. However there are also games that do not perform well in emulation; these often exhibit a lower framerate on the Xbox 360,[58] as well as various sound bugs and occasional gameplay glitches. A hard drive and the downloading of an emulation profile is needed in order to play original Xbox games. Updated emulation profiles are automatically obtained through Xbox Live, or alternatively they can be burned to a CD with files downloaded from Xbox.com, or by ordering a free update disc from Microsoft. The full list of backward-compatible games is maintained at Xbox.com. A list of Xbox games that are backward compatible on the Xbox 360 stands at the heart of this article. ...

Game library -
The Xbox 360 launched with a number of games. The console's best selling game for 2005, Call of Duty 2, sold over a million copies.[60] Only five other games sold this amount in the console's first year in the market; Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter,[61] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,[62] Dead or Alive 4,[63] Saints Row[64] and Gears of War.[65] Gears is also the 360's currently best selling game with close to 4 million copies sold. First-party developer Rare had two games at launch: Perfect Dark Zero, which was Rare's first major commercial success after their acquisition by Microsoft; and was believed by some to be the console's flagship launch title; and Kameo: Elements of Power. Only six games were initially offered in Japan, and eagerly anticipated titles like Dead or Alive 4 and Enchanted Arms were not released until several weeks after launch.

Technical problems
 An Xbox 360 showing the three red lights of death, an unrecoverable hardware failure. -
The Xbox 360 can be subject to a number of possible technical problems. Since the Xbox 360 console was released in 2005 the console gained reputation in the press in articles portraying poor reliability and relatively high failure rates.[66][67][68][69] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

According to the German computer magazine c't the main reason for the problems is that the wrong type of lead free solder was used, a type that when exposed to elevated temperatures for a long time becomes brittle and can develop hair-line cracks that are almost irreparable. Also, according to the same c't article, Microsoft has reserved enough money for this problem to spend $100,- on every existing xbox 360 to fix them, or enough to replace every third xbox 360 ever made.

In materials science, fatigue is the progressive, localised, and permanent structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic or fluctuating strains at nominal stresses that have maximum values less than (often much less than) the static yield strength of the material. ...
Like many modern electronics, the Xbox 360 is equipped to communicate its operational status to its users. This status is normally shown via array of green lights on the Xbox 360's Ring of Light. In the case of an undesirable state, the machine provides indication to the user through one of several means. This display maybe an error message for most minor errors, or a Screen of Death in the instance of an unrecoverable software failure. Rebooting the system relieves most errors, the console booting up fully functional. However, in the case of a hardware condition, the Ring of Light display on the front of the console itself changes from green to red, a case known among Xbox 360 owners as "The Three Red Lights of Death".The number of sectors illuminated informs the user what category the error falls into. On September 29, 2006, Microsoft released a statement saying that they will waive the cost for repairs on all Xbox 360 consoles made before January 1, 2006, and refund any fees already paid.[71] However, as of January 1, 2007, Microsoft has discontinued the policy to fix the pre-2006 consoles for free. On December 21, 2006 the warranty for all consoles purchased in Canada and the United States was extended from 90 days to one year.[17] In many computer operating systems, a special type of error message will display onscreen when the system has experienced a fatal error. ...

On April 14, 2007, the Dutch TV program "Kassa", as a reaction of over a thousand customers complaining about the fact that their Xbox 360s had scratched their game discs, broadcasted a program in which they revealed a test they had done. The test indicated that some Xbox 360s, equipped with Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology (TSST) DVD players, scratch DVDs spontaneously, even when the Xbox is placed on a stable surface, rendering some games unplayable. A reseller (BOL.com) that was sued by one of the gamers that took part in the Kassa program attended the broadcast and provided replacement equipment to the user. Additionally, they informed Kassa "that they had contacted the 1% of users who reported the problem with the offer of replacing all their game discs and consoles". Microsoft itself however refused to take part in the program, but just one day before the program broadcasted they sent Kassa a formal letter in which they told Kassa the customers can contact them whereupon they will "examine the console and make appropriate repairs if necessary in order to restore the console to full working order",[72] and also wrote that “…it is possible that scratches may originate from frequent use."[73][72][74][75] April 14 is the 104th day of the year (105th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 261 days remaining. ...

After many complaints about "general failure errors" Microsoft announced changes to their warranty coverage on July 5, 2007. This increased the standard one year manufacturer's warranty to three years, specifically covering general hardware failures indicated by the three red lights. It is also retroactive to any previously purchased systems; original launch consoles are covered until November 2008. Additionally, any customers who have previously paid for repairs for general hardware failures will be reimbursed in full.[79][80] It has also been reported that Microsoft will spend over $1 billion repairing Xbox 360s.[81] In addition, Peter Moore stated in his open letter that "to address this issue, and as part of our ongoing work, we have already made certain improvements to the console," indicating future systems received some design improvements. is the 186th day of the year (187th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

This lack of availability caused Xbox 360 bundles to sell on eBay at inflated prices; some auctions exceeded US$6,000. Forty thousand units appeared on eBay during the initial week of release; this was 10% of the total supply.[88] By year's end, Microsoft had shipped 1.5 million units; including 900,000 in North America, 500,000 in Europe, and 100,000 in Japan.[89] eBay headquarters in San Jose eBay North First Street satellite office campus (home to PayPal) eBay Inc. ...

However, despite these sales figures, Microsoft's gaming division is losing money. Up to 2005, the Xbox gaming division had lost over $4 billion dollars.[92] However, Microsoft expects the console will start making money in 2008.[93] This is due to a market strategy of selling consoles below cost in order to obtain market saturation and turn a profit on software and peripherals that have a much higher profit margin.[94][95]
