At Home
It seems to be a common
theme in many of my books
that I thank my fiancée, Leslie.
She deserves it. Without her
patience and understanding,
my long hours would be
much longer.
At Prima
Jason Wigle, Amanda
Peckham, and Jill Ellis, what
an awesome team. Jason, any
time you need a travel buddy,
look no further. Amanda and
Jill, you two need to come to
Vegas soon.
At Microsoft
This book could not have been
written without the help of a
few key people at Microsoft.
Michelle Ballantine, thanks
for being so hospitable and
accommodating. Brian Yeung,
Adam Ebel, and Ryan Gunn,
thanks for making time to talk
to Jason and me. Paolo
Malabuyo, thanks for provid-
ing all the support we needed
to really understand how the
Xbox 360 came to sit in my
entertainment center.

FOREWORD
Most of us in the game industry have been playing video games for most of our lives. We have spent
countless hours trying to finish one more level, complete another row, save the princess, rebuild a city
block, capture a flag, and explore a new universe. We have grown up with this new form of entertainment,
and we have experienced its evolution every step of the way. Not only were we improving our hand-eye
coordination, but we were solving difficult problems, participating in fantastic storytelling, manipulating
complex systems, and working together as teams.
Little did we know that we would be ushering in the new generation of home entertainment consoles using
the same skills that we developed playing them. We couldn’t have done it without solving some amazingly
difficult problems, telling some fantastic stories, building complex systems, and working together as one
team spanning hundreds of people across the world. We spent countless hours trying to finish one more
design document, complete another line of code, file another patent, rebuild another prototype, capture
someone’s imagination, and allow them to explore new universes.
Creating Xbox 360 ™ and Xbox Live ® was more difficult and more fun than we could have imagined, and we
couldn’t be more proud of what we were able to unleash upon the world on November 22, 2005.
Welcome to Xbox 360. Jump in.
