Sure it was…. Sure

Look, I’m pro Xbox - but these things are never an “error”, it’s a pivot following a poor initial decision for a change.

Good bye Xbox gaming division. You won’t be missed.

it’s just a waste of resources just to keep the 360 store open who the hell plays on the 360 and still buy games on there. you can buy them on the newer consoles 😂😂

Can you buy 360 games in One or Series X stores?

Typing it out and sending it out is not an error so just come out and let everyone know you are shutting the store so they can bitch and you say you made a mistake and now will leave it open just like Sony did with the PS3 store

Upgrade to Xbox One

VGC writers just wake up every day mad at Xbox 😂

Phil did a 180 on the 360 😆🤡

Yeah I don't think it was an error that wouldn't be typed up if they weren't planning on it I think they're still going to try and shut it off this year just not in May

'Error' sounds more like preparation.
