Microsoft Exec: Xbox One to Have the 'Best Lineup' in Microsoft History in 2016

3rd December, 1 replies

Microsoft marketing executive Yusuf Mehdi has said that the Xbox One lineup next year is set to be the "best lineup" in Microsoft's history.

Mehdi made the comment, which is essentially identical to the tag line Microsoft has been using for this year's Xbox One lineup, at the Credit Suisse Technology Conference this week.

"On Gaming, gaming has been pretty big success case," said Mehdi. "Gaming, think about it in two pieces: there is a traditional Xbox console business where we compete with Sony, and there we have had probably the best year we have ever had for Xbox, and it’s still on the back of the greatest game lineup of the Xbox history."

"So if you like games, this is the year to get an Xbox. We have Halo 5 launching. We have Minecraft on Xbox. We have Gears of War, Tomb Raider… Best lineup. Next year will also be the best lineup. That leads to really a great success on it."

"But the other interesting thing, is now we are bringing that Xbox gaming value prop to other devices, in particular the PC."

The key Xbox console exclusives in 2015 were Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Forza Motorsport 6.

Known console exclusives with tentative 2016 release dates include Gears of War 4, Crackdown 3, Quantum Break, Scalebound, ReCore, Halo Wars 2, Below, and Sea of Thieves. Some of these games could be delayed into 2017 and beyond, of course, but the lineup could also grow if Microsoft has any unannounced games up its sleeves for next year.
