You think some sort of death signal from Microsoft is imminent that will brick Xbox 360's?
While I don't defend asking $50 for it, it's not surprising that they focused on online multiplayer. That's what the vast majority of the fanbase is buying these for, including a substantial number that still have yet to upgrade but want to continue playing online with the latest update to this annual franchise.
Sounds as if you'd be best off following my tactic, since clearly you don't hold much interest in the online component. I buy these when they hit $10 or less for the short single player campaigns. And I hold off buying even if the prices reach that point, if I've yet to upgrade to a newer generation console.
I'm in no rush and I may as well enjoy all the bells and whistles instead of a stripped down version of the same game that's done cheaply and lazily like this conversion. Unlike some impressive efforts this generation like Forza Horizon 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider that play to the strengths of the 360 hardware and do justice to the experience despite a drastic difference in hardware capabilities compared to their XB1 counterparts, I see little reason to mess with a game like Blacks Ops III on the PS3/360.
