Xbox Live for first-gen Xbox to cease

Microsoft just announced that they will no longer be offering Xbox Live services on the original Xbox from April 15th onwards. This means that from that day onwards, all of the original Xbox games – as well as those that see action on the Xbox 360 as well as over the Xbox Originals service, will no longer be able to have a lease of life online. One of the main reasons would be Microsoft evolving their Xbox Live service which could no longer make allowances for games on Microsoft’s first console.
