It made the announcement today as it launched a $399 Xbox One without the Kinect peripheral, and unveiled a huge line-up of games at E3.
With more than 84 million consoles sold into retail worldwide, Microsoft says that its aging console has generated $37.7 billion in lifetime game sales.
Xbox 360 gamers have clicked up more than 88 billion hours of gameplay, which is the equivalent of more than 100,000 centuries.
The Redmond-giant also promised to continue supporting the console with new games and apps. Just recently, the Xbox live Gold requirement for entertainment apps was lifted. Soon Xbox 360 will get even more entertainment apps, including HBO Go.
