History of Xbox By Beau
Xbox is a video game brand that was owned and created by Microsoft. The brand was first introduced in 2001 in the United States, with the launch of the original Xbox console.
Microsoft's second console ,the Xbox 360, was released in 2005 and has sold over 77.2 million consoles worldwide as of April 18 2013
The Xbox one was released in 2013 in North America.
Xbox One's exterior casing consists of a two-tone "liquid black" finish; with half finished in a matte grey, and the other in a glossier black.
The notion that Microsoft should develop its own gaming console began gaining traction way back in 1998, with Kevin Bachus, Seamus Blackley, Otto Berkes, and Ted Hase forming the software giant’s first console team after successfully pitching their idea to Bill Gates. Originally dubbed the “DirectX Box,” the console was intended to be the first game system built like a PC and to bring all of the flexibility and power of a gaming rig to the console market. The system would run on Windows 2000, making it easy for traditional PC software developers to work within the console’s architecture, and feature more than twice the processing power of the industry-leading PlayStation.
