The Xbox 360 Marketplace lasted almost 20 years, offering backward compatibility despite 220 lost games. Microsoft excels in preservation, even preserving the majority of the Xbox 360 back catalogue.
The Xbox 360 Marketplace was revolutionary in the 2000s, despite facing backlash from traditional retailers like Electronics Boutique and Game. It ushered in the gradual transition to digital storefronts.
Digital games were initially additive to retail, but by 2019, digital sales overtook physical sales. The Xbox 360 Marketplace played a significant role in the evolution of the gaming industry.
Major players like Steam, Sony, and Nintendo gradually shifted towards digital storefronts, with Microsoft's Xbox 360 Marketplace paving the way for the industry's transformation.
