I en intervju med Games Industry säger kanadensiska Xbox-chefen Craig Flannagan att vi har en lång generation framför oss och att Xbox One kommer att hålla i minst tio år. Likaså säger han sig vara väldigt nöjd med tillverkningstempot, möjligheterna att uppdatera konsolen i framtiden och förhandsbokningarna.
"I've been here for the launch of Xbox 360. I was here for the launch of Kinect. This is far and away the biggest launch we've ever done. It's the most hardware we've ever produced. It's the most we've ever pre-sold. We're preselling a little over 2-to-1 from what we did with Xbox 360."
På frågan hur Xbox One kommer att stå sig gentemot konkurrensen svarar Flannagan: "Xbox One is going to start ahead, in terms of the experience we can deliver, and because we're built for the future, we're going to stay ahead. I think there is not a better experience you can buy this holiday, and there will not be a time this generation where there's a better experience you can buy than Xbox One... And it's probably going to be a pretty long generation."
Likaså anser han konsolen vara framtidssäkrad eftersom saker kommer att ändras i framtiden: "We're probably here for a while because we're built for the future. This is a console that will last you, conservatively a decade, if I had to put a bet down today."
Han avslutar: "Much like 360, Xbox One's not going to look a whole lot five years from now like it does now," he said. "I don't know where it's going to go, but that's kind of fun because we're built for the future. We do have a connection; we can change what things look like and how it performs."
