How did Microsoft rush the xbox one? Microsoft xbox one came out later than the PS4 and the fact that xbox 360 was out longer than ps3. If Microsoft didn't include/force kinect they would be doing a lot better and be very very dominant right now in North America. Even after the mistakes Microsoft made, the xbox one is doing very well in North America.That speaks volume. Also, Microsoft rushing the 360 is what help made the 360 what it was and it was one of the reasons why PS3 lost Sony a lot of money (lost them more money then they made off of ps2 and ps1). Microsoft is doing very well despite the nay sayers. Next gen should be very interesting because more than likely they would be the same price as the PS5 and they will have Minecraft as an exclusive next gen console game. That is huge for Microsoft.

Don't you remember all the reports about the Xbox One development kits being pre-mature compared to Sony's? That alone should be a strong indicator.

Maybe Microsoft was still focusing on 360 more? Sony wanted out of the 7th gen as fast as possible because they lost a lot of money. Microsoft probably still wanted to support 360 more because it was making them quite a bit of money after 2008.
