Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Three screenshots of the Xbox 360 user interface over time. From top to bottom; the original "Blade" UI, the "New Xbox Experience" UI, and the "Metro" UI
Author or copyright owner	Microsoft
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://www.usgamer.net/articles/microsoft-stops-making-the-xbox-360
Date of publication	2011
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Xbox system software
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To illustrate the three UIs used on the Xbox 360 over its lifetime, as discussed in the article text.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	n.a.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	Impossible to describe visual layouts with text only.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is a composite image of 3 screenshots created by uploader and should be considered as three uses. However, the UIs are fundamentally different to require a different shot for each UI. (That one article offered all three as an example of changing UI helps demonstrate the use of this image). Each image has been reduced to be individually under 100k pixels, though the overall image is clearly larger than this to include all three.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	n.a.
