Original Xbox boss Robbie Bach has revealed his take on the launch of the Xbox One. More notably, the pre-launch criticisms of the console after the infamous reveal back in 2013 is the former head head of Xbox thinks could have been avoided.

After the reveal, the Xbox One was heavily criticized for a lot of the features that was announced for the console that were eventually cut or subdued in time for launch.

โ€œI think I have two thoughts,โ€ he told Geekwire. โ€œThe first is, gosh, I think some of that was predictable and preventable. If Iโ€™m just honest I would say that. These console competitions last 5, 6, 7, 8 years. I think it shows in the marketplace today.

โ€œI think Xbox One has put almost all of that behind itself. Theyโ€™ve got a great holiday lineup. Theyโ€™re gaining share and volume. The amazing thing is the console market is bigger now than itโ€™s ever been before. Both companies are selling more units.โ€

The Xbox One stumbled to find its place after the initial reveal back in 2013.

He also stated that he think the Xbox One stumbled and lost some of the momentum that came with the success of the Xbox 360. Despite that, he sees Xbox Live as a continuing strength for Microsoft.

โ€œYou would have liked to have seen them done more with the momentum we had. On the other hand, look at whatโ€™s going on on Xbox Live. Incredible momentum on Xbox Live. I think itโ€™s a balance thing.

โ€œI could also say that the team did what they needed to do,โ€ he added. โ€œThey persevered through a rocky patch, and theyโ€™re now on the path to making this a very competitive market.โ€
