A History of Xbox
Christopher Bish
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
It was a project few at Microsoft believed in—a software giant daring to challenge the console empires of Sony and Nintendo. What followed was a story of rebellion, determination, and breathtaking innovation that would forever alter the landscape of entertainment.
A History of Xbox unveils the thrilling, often turbulent, story of a cultural phenomenon. Follow the small band of mavericks who willed the first console into existence, witness the brutal console wars fought in living rooms across the globe, and uncover the inside story of the billion-dollar crisis that threatened to end it all.
From the birth of Xbox Live, which set the standard for online gaming, to the revolutionary strategy behind Xbox Game Pass and the raw power of the Series X, this is the ultimate chronicle of a gaming legend. This isn't just the history of a machine; it's the story of a dream, a community, and a legacy that continues to power our own.
