In an interview with Stevivor, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer explained how the company originally planned to sell through 200 million Xbox One units. “The goal that the team had was to figure out how could we sell 200 million game consoles,” says Spencer. “We’ve never seen a console sell that many units. The biggest individual console, the PS2, did 120 million or something like that.”Spencer went on to explain how the original idea of an all-in-one media system has been scaled back in some respects to refocus on being a gaming console. “When we came in after 2 1/2 years ago and started running the Xbox program,” continues Spencer, “I centered us back on not trying to become something other than a game console. You don’t earn the right to be relevant in other categories of usage for the console until you’ve earned the gaming right, so let’s go make sure that’s what we deliver.” Thoughts on the Xbox One ?
