Remove the CPU and the Xbone literally wouldn't work. Remove Kinect and....the Xbone is just fine. But he wanted to leave the impression that it literally wouldn't work, because it was "as essential as" everything else. "From a business standpoint" is not a factor in what "as essential as" means in the context Harrison was speaking in (i.e. why Kinect cannot be removed). Reading it any other way is spin because a "business standpoint" has nothing to do with physical functionality, like memory, blu ray, and (what Phil wanted us to believe) Kinect does for the console. |
It makes sense if you view it as a business model. Being essential as the rest doesn't mean nothing can be removed. It means it was essential to their vision, just as the other parts were. You, as well as many others, thought of this too literally.
Reading it as spin is the point. That is PR. Technical truths that are designed to be interpreted multiple ways, all of them being true, depending how you look at it.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
