The Most Iconic Video Game Consoles of All Time

**Microsoft Xbox 360

The Microsoft Xbox 360, released in 2005, was Microsoft's response to the PlayStation 3. The Xbox 360 was known for its powerful hardware and its focus on online gaming. The console was home to some of the most popular games of the late 2000s and early 2010s, including Gears of War and Mass Effect.

The Xbox 360 marked a new era for Microsoft, with the company focusing on creating a complete entertainment system rather than just a gaming console. Despite facing stiff competition from the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii, the Xbox 360 held its own, thanks to its powerful hardware and diverse library of games.
