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.

The 360 was rushed one year ahead of time to beat the PS3 to market. Look it up online, the story is available. The former head of Xbox Joachim Kempin spoke about this. The 360 had not gone through complete R&D, but Sony was so dominant that Microsoft did not want to risk launching with them and being decimated. They rushed the R&D and gave birth to their most successful console, but while their strategy to undercut Sony to create an even playingfield with third party succeeded they ended up creating the worst failure rating in gaming history.
Microsoft was watching the PS4's motions to make it to market. As soon as Sony made reveals, Microsoft quickly matched them. Instead of fighting against Blu Ray, they followed them with Blu Ray just like they did with DVD. When they saw how powerful the PS4 was they rushed to fix the clock speed on the console.
Not taking anything away from Microsoft, but their actions (if you've been paying attention) shows just how dominant Sony is and why Microsoft tried not to give them an inch. As you can see when Sony wins Microsoft can barely do anything, but when the PS3 was behind the 360 Microsoft still made great strides to keep the media and gamers on their side as Sony pulled up on them in world sales.

I said the 360 was rushed, but no the xbox one. They didn't do anything to rush the xbox one (the console we are talking about).
