Original Xbox Games

Sometimes I feel abandoned when I realize that no one is making new games for the first generation xbox game console. The old xbox sold about 24 million units before production stopped early 2005. Shortly after that all the game developers stopped creating new games for the system and redirected their efforts toward the xbox 360. The last time I checked the xbox 360 has sold about 20 million units.

I hate looking at the new game ads and seeing versions for the 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, and the Wii. It surprises me that the Playstation Portable is still as popular as it is. Sony continues to release updates with new features for the PSP's operating system and there isn't much else to choose from if you want an advanced hand-held game system with lots of games and wireless Internet capabilities. The only good news for people still playing the old xbox is that used games are cheap and plentyful. If you don't like paying sixty bucks for a game and don't mind non-hd graphics, the used game market for the old xbox is still going strong.
