Microsoft's released the successor to the Xbox, the Xbox 360, in November 2005. Several of the launch titles for the Xbox enjoyed overwhelming success-most notably Halo: Combat Evolved, which became the signature game for the system. The system sold relatively well, topping 25 million consoles by the end of its production run in 2006, but failed to supplant Sony's PlayStation line as the dominate home console (both the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 sold more than 100 million units apiece). In addition, the console was capable of playing standard DVDs through a multimedia expansion pack. To this end, designers included an Ethernet port that allowed players access to Xbox LIVE (launched in November 2002), an online, real-time gaming community available for a monthly subscription fee. Microsoft envisioned their system as more than a home video game console they developed the Xbox as a revolutionary home-entertainment vehicle.
