Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Xbox mua i ka makahiki 2001, ua noho ʻo Microsoft ma ke ʻano o kekahi o nā mea paʻa ʻekolu i ka ʻoihana pāʻani. Ua ulu maikaʻi kā lākou hoʻolālā mai ia manawa, e kālele nui ana i nā kau inoa a me nā lawelawe ʻoiai e hoʻolaha ana ma waho o nā mea i hoʻolaʻa ʻia, ʻoiai ke hoʻolaha nei lākou i nā mea me ka Xbox Series X/S i hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia. Inā manaʻo ʻoe e hele ana lākou i nā wahi ʻē aʻe, e noʻonoʻo hou.
I ka hui hou loa o nā mea kuleana makahiki, ua nīnau ʻia ʻo Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella e pili ana i ka māhele Xbox a me ka ʻike ʻana o ka ʻoihana i kāna ʻano pāʻani i mua. Ua wehewehe ʻo Nadella i ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana o ka hui i ka Xbox a me ka pāʻani ma ka laulā. Kuhi ʻo ia i ka loaʻa hou ʻana o Zenimax / Bethesda a me ka hoʻomaka maikaʻi ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana hou i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna nei ma ke ʻano he mau hiʻohiʻona o ka nui o nā kumuwaiwai a lākou e hui nei i ka mahele (mahalo nui iā Alpha e huli ana no ka unuhi ʻana).
"ʻO ka mea mua, hauʻoli nui mākou i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka console hou i ka mākeke. Ke nānā mau nei mākou i ka hōʻoia ʻana i kā mākou kaiāulu mea pāʻani, e hilinaʻi nei iā mākou e hana i nā ʻoliʻoli maikaʻi loa, he hanauna hou o nā consoles, ikaika a, ʻike ʻoe, maikaʻi loa no ka pāʻani. A ke kākoʻo nei mākou iā ia me ka ʻike maikaʻi loa a me ke kaiāulu maikaʻi loa.
"Akā ʻo ka ʻike ākea a mākou e hōʻoia ai e hiki i nā mea pāʻani 3 billion ma waho ke pāʻani i kā lākou pāʻani ma nā wahi āpau a lākou e makemake ai me nā ʻike āpau a lākou e makemake ai a ʻo ia ka mea a mākou e kūkulu nei i kā mākou hoʻolālā a puni. Ua ʻike ʻoe iā mākou e pālua i kā mākou waihona waihona me ka loaʻa ʻana o ZeniMax.
"ʻIke ʻoe iā mākou e holomua i kā mākou hana kaiāulu a me kā mākou hāʻawi inoa inoa me Game Pass. A ʻo ia ka mea āu e manaʻo ai mai iā mākou. Ke nānā nui nei mākou i ka pāʻani, a me ka hōʻoia ʻana e loaʻa i nā mea pāʻani 3 biliona a puni ka honua i ka ʻike maikaʻi loa, ke kaiāulu maikaʻi loa, a me nā lawelawe kapuaʻi maikaʻi loa e hoʻoikaika i kā lākou ʻike pāʻani i mua.
He mea hoihoi ia, ʻoiai ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻoe ʻaʻole i hoʻolaʻa ʻia ʻo Microsoft i ka pāʻani a me ka Xbox ma hope o ka underperformance o ka Xbox One e like me ka haʻi ʻana e Phil Spencer. ʻOiai e emi ana ko lākou hoʻolaʻa ʻana i nā pahu kikoʻī me ka manawa, ʻike ʻia ka nani o Microsoft ma ka ʻaoʻao pāʻani a me Xbox ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona e hele ana i mua.
