The Xbox 360 console

The Xbox 360 is a console produced by Microsoft in 2005. It is notable for being the first console of the 7th generation. Later, the console's life saw several updates to its OS, the dashboard, to alter its appearance, as well as the option of a motion-sensing camera, the Kinect.
