It's a long play. Xbox got them in to the fray. Xbox 360 got them to the front of the pack. Xbox One is probably where the plan is supposed to come together.

They've thrown a lot behind it, but I think it's also worth appreciating the headstart they were reeling in.

The NES came out in 1983-85, Playstation came out late 1994 and Xbox in late 2001. Microsoft came in with a fairly cold gaming brand and new image.
