Xbox One Launch Problems Were Avoidable, Former Xbox Boss Says
- 9 years ago
The Xbox One had a rocky launch back in late 2013.
Robbie Bach, former Microsoft President and Chief Xbox Officer, says that his former company really could have avoided those problems though.
He added later on that he wishes Microsoft had been able to capitalize on their strong momentum from Xbox 360, which sold over 83 million units as of March 2014.
While Xbox One's launch problems allowed the PlayStation 4 to gain an early lead , he notes that console generations are a marathon rather than a sprint: These console competitions last 5, 6, 7, 8 years.
Perhaps the most important change, though, is that Microsoft is now putting their energy into making Xbox One a good gaming console rather than an "all-in-one entertainment system."
