Microsoft recently announced that the Xbox One was the best selling console in the US for November and December 2014. To continue the momentum, Microsoft decided to bring down the price of the Xbox One to $349. Aaron Greenberg, the marketing lead across 1st & 3rd Party at Microsoft has shared his thoughts on the console’s success.
He believes that they focused on the game’s line up and naturally players voted with their wallets. There is no doubt that Microsoft had the best line up in Q4 2014 which included the likes of Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2. Both proved to be critically acclaimed games and must haves for any Xbox One owner.
@PNF4LYFE Huge, we focused on delivering the best games lineup and gamers spoke with their wallets.

@XBLdynamatrix @XboxP3 Yes nice to see how well games are selling on Xbox One.
