The '''Xbox 360''' is a {{wp|home video game console}} created by [[Microsoft]] and released in 2005 to compete with the {{wp|Playstation 3}} and {{wp|Wii}}, being a successor to the {{wp|Xbox (console)|original Xbox}} and the second console in the {{wp|Xbox}} series. Two ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' ports, the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade ports of ''Banjo-Kazooie'']] and ''[[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie]]'', and a new game, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' were developed for the system, with the latter later receiving [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]] as DLC for 400 Microsoft Points.


'''Xbox 360''' is the newest [[Microsoft]] console. Currently, [[Rare]] is only allowed to make console games for this system, since Microsoft owns Rare. However, since Microsoft currently has no handheld system, Rare has also been developing titles for the [[Nintendo DS]].
A racing game, ''[[Banjo-Karting]]'', was being developed for the console but was eventually cancelled. Banjo and Kazooie did make a guest appearance in another racing title for the Xbox 360, however, ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie]]''.

== In-game appearances ==
There was an Xbox 360 easter egg in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', during the introduction story when [[Kazooie]] was playing with her video game console, which is obviously an Xbox 360 system. Her Xbox 360 console and controller props were graphically very well-defined due to the game's high-definition support, and so it is very obvious. Also, in the N&B Start menu you can see a stack of Xbox 360's and become more apparent if you move your cursor to multiplayer
*In the menu of ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', a pile of Xbox 360s can be seen on [[Banjo]]'s bed, being highlighted and zoomed in if the "Multiplayer" option is selected. In the introduction sequence of the game, [[Kazooie]] can also be seen playing ''[[Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh World]]'' on the console.
