After a programme dedicated to the thirtieth anniversary of Metroid, MO5.COM Podcasts are once again celebrating an anniversary, albeit a little less belatedly this time... It was less than a fortnight ago, on 15 November, that the Xbox celebrated its fifteenth birthday. So yes, it's definitely younger than the other machines we've covered so far (Famicom, PlayStation, Neo-Geo), but it's no less interesting, as evidenced by the duration of this broadcast (03:33′30″!) in the image of the massiveness of the black and neon green monolith...
Not only is it the first successful American console since the venerable Atari 2600but it has enabled Microsofta company hitherto known mainly for its software and operating systems, to become one of the major manufacturers in the video game market. To go back over its genesis, we naturally based ourselves on the book At the heart of Xbox signed Dean Takahashiand we called on David Dufourwho headed up marketing for the Xbox brand from its launch in 2001 until 2013, as well as Cyril Berrebiat the time the editor-in-chief of Xbox - the official magazine. So, as with our podcast on the NESA more French perspective on the console...
