2006 is the last year your vintage XBox is going to be good for anything besides killing wharf rats. Bill Harris over at Dubious Quality has taken a look at the release dates of all announced XBox and 360 titles and the XBox is practically dead in the water:

45 Xbox 360 games are scheduled for release before the end of the year, but only 31 Xbox titles. Almost half of that 31 will be shipping by the end of June. After that, the 360 titles are listed in a 2-1 ratio for the end of the year... In other words, in about two months, the transition from Xbox to Xbox 360 is essentially over.

There are zero XBox titles slated for a 2007 release. We hope that this news means that Microsoft will continue to improve backwards compatibility on the 360, so we can finally chuck our XBox from the top of a skyscraper. Our entertainment center is only big enough for two fat, ugly Microsoft bricks, thank you very much. - Florian Eckhardt
