Xbox is Dead. Long Live Xbox I remember all of the times Xbox 'died'. It died in February 2008 when Microsoft officially acknowledged the 'Red Ring of Death' issues plaguing Xbox 360 hardware. It died again in 2013 with the Xbox One and its disastrous reveal. And then, it has gone and snuffed it pretty regularly since that timeframe, with every misstep and mistake framed as the literal death of the platform. In 2025, saying "Xbox is dead" with any sort of earnest seriousness sounds like a statement designed to farm precious engagement rather than any sort of meaningful discussion, or perhaps even worse, is uttered from a position of pure ignorance. https://xboxera.com/2025/12/27/xbox-is-dead-long-live-xbox/
