We can call it what it is – Xbox is going through an identity crisis. Microsoft keeps trying to convince everyone that everything "is an Xbox," emphasizing on-the-go gaming, while also deciding that exclusive games are "antiquated." But former Microsoft executive Peter Moore, who oversaw the Xbox's and Xbox 360's rollouts, knows Microsoft wouldn't be entirely itself without the Xbox console.
"Look at them now," Moore tells Eurogamer, "continuing to be the powerhouse – the global powerhouse – that they are, powering so many of our work experiences, entertainment experiences, communication experiences. So much that Microsoft does is an everyday part of our life, and I like to think a little bit of that was because of Xbox, as simple as that."
