Top 5: RPGs on the X-Box 360
Welcome to this episode of RPGGamer Top 5s, and this time we're going to do the top 5 RPG's on the X-Box 360.
The Xbox 360 is a home video game console developed by Microsoft and competed with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. It was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information announced later that month at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo.
The Xbox 360 features an online service, Xbox Live, which was expanded from its previous iteration on the original Xbox and received regular updates during the console's lifetime.
Several peripherals were released, including wireless controllers, expanded hard drive storage, and the Kinect motion sensing camera. The release of these additional services and peripherals helped the Xbox brand grow from gaming-only to encompassing all multimedia, turning it into a hub for living-room computing entertainment.
The earliest versions of the console suffered from a high failure rate, indicated by the so-called "Red Ring of Death", necessitating an extension of the device's warranty period. Microsoft released two redesigned models of the console: the Xbox 360 S in 2010, and the Xbox 360 E in 2013. As of June 2014, 84 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold worldwide, making it the sixth-highest-selling home video game console in history, and the highest-selling console made by an American company.
The XBox 360 was built around a 3.2 Ghz PowerPC tri-core Xenon processor, which was designed using a slightly modified version of the Playstation 3's Cell Processor architecture, with 512mb of GDDR3 Ram clocked at 700mhz, and graphics provided through a 500mhz ATI/AMD Xenos chip, displaying graphics up to 1080p high definition at 1920x1080 resolution.
The Xbox 360's successor, the Xbox One, was released on November 22, 2013. On April 20, 2016, Microsoft announced that it would end the production of new Xbox 360 hardware.
