The LAST Xbox game produced?

[Deadman]

Anyone know what the very last new title for the original Xbox was? I'm assuming of course that there aren't any new ones being produced, or in development...

Thanks!

Wasn't it Reddick?

Don't count your embryonic fowl before they've emerged from their protective shelter.

[Bojay1997]

Do you have some inside info or are you just guessing? I know there may be some new Xbox originals released on Live, but I believe the retail Xbox releases are done.

[Chuplayer]

I don't think it was Riddick. It was likely one of the EA Sports games. There might even be more coming down the pipeline.

Madden NFL 08, released August 14, 2007.

Altogether, I believe there were only 4 titles released last year:

Madden NFL 08 (8/14/07)
Ratatouille (7/31/07)
NCAA Football 08 (7/17/07)
Major League Baseball 2K7 (2/27/07)

[retroman]

it was Madden 08. 100% sure of it.

[Snapple]

Madden was the last PS1 game as well, wasn't it? They really don't mind pushing the limit of the system life, I guess.

[Infernal Monkey]

Madden games are almost always the last game made for whatever system. Madden 2087 will be the last PS2 game.

Actually, it was a Fifa game that ended the PS1's life span.

Yep - FIFA 2005, to be exact.

[Snapple]

I stand corrected!

[tom]

And Schnappi and 7 Shoot Games (both 2005)

[Nirvana]

Haha. I entered this topic thinking Madden 08.

Whoa what the hell, that's an interesting box for Shoot Games. I remember seeing it around here (Australia) when it came out, but it was just in a thin PSone case.

[Sothy]

/me still regrets no powepuff girls for n64 in his collection.

Then again I have a 3 foot long stack of n64 carts and no controllers to play them with /snifflr

[Mayhem]

Haha. I entered this topic thinking Madden 08.

It was also for the Gamecube (unless something new magically appears this year, which I doubt).

Actually, it was a Fifa game that ended the PS1's life span.

And it was very nearly a FIFA game that ended the xbox's lifespan.

So what everybody's saying is the last official Dreamcast releases were only a few months shy of the last official Xbox releases, and perhaps after the last GC releases? Not to mention two official DC releases (and one unofficial) to the Xbox's 4?

Hooray for Dreamcast!

I assume you are talking about the Dreamcast last Japanese releases. It's US last releases came and went back in 2001 or 2002 I think.

I'm actually of the school of thought that they give up on the previous systems far too soon. Especially when the graphics are not that much better from the previous generation to this one. Sony has continued to pull in revenue from PS2 games.

With the Xbox, I agree that they could have continued for one more year, just because it was sort of a half generation beyond the capabilities of the PS2 anyway. I disagree that the PS2 is still playable for anything that is 3D. For RPGs or 2D games, I suppose I would still agree, but otherwise it is starting to show its 8 years of age. The other problem becomes once the next generation is widely available and adopted, people tend not to want to pay anything more than $20 for last generation titles. As such, profit decreases significantly even as development costs fall.

Yep, I think that's what started me thinking about this thread - seeing all these new releases for the PS2 still coming out and watching my Xbox sit there and just go quietly into the night. I chose the Xbox over the PS2 years ago because I thought the graphics and system were superior, and possibly that it might outlive it. So why did the Xbox die and the PS2 live on? Lots of reasons I'm sure, but that's for another thread.

Because the Xbox sold about 10 units in Japan, which is where all these new PS2 games are being developed.

In US the last DC games was NHL 2K2 in early 2002, in Japan it lasted til last March.
