Microsoft (China) Co., Ltd., Xbox, Microsoft's home game console brand, and Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's will form a three-legged situation
Xbox is a home television game console developed by Microsoft Corporation and released in 2001.
The Xbox console was first released in the United States on November 15, 2001; Japan, the largest game country in Asia, was released on February 22, 2002. Subsequently, it successively landed in other parts of North America, Europe, and Australia; South Korea and Singapore in Asia, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan in China.
In order to compete with other companies' consoles and change the disadvantage of the latest release of contemporaneous consoles, in Japan, the Xbox release pre-order price is about 34,800 yen. After several price changes, the price of the Xbox Pack 2 (which comes with 2 game software, a game controller, DVD playback kit, etc.) released in May 2004 has dropped to around 19,000 yen. Microsoft has adopted a similar "big package" price reduction strategy in other regions.
When it was first released, DVDs and CDs running on consoles were scratched by optical drives, and Japanese people who hated defective products criticized Xbox, especially in Japan's largest electronic bulletin board (BBS) "2ch", which caricatured Xbox as an "X (failure) box" or a "murder box". Thereafter, Microsoft offers free physical repairs and replacements. At the beginning of 2005, Microsoft announced that some early Xbox had power cord design problems, which could cause damage to the body or human body, and provided free power cord replacement services. Worldwide, mainframes manufactured on or after October 23, 2003 (Europe: January 13, 2004) do not require a power cord replacement.
Xbox Live is a multi-user online battle platform for Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, developed and managed by Microsoft. It was initially launched on Xbox consoles in November 2002, and later the service was updated and extended to PC and Windows Phone. In November 2002, the United States, January 2003, Japan, and March 2003 began to provide Xbox Live online game services. This service can provide real-time online services for game products with Live functions, including: online player lists; multiplayer networked games; voice online chat; features such as player points leaderboards. In 2004, Xbox launched the "Xbox Video Chat" suite in Japan, which can support multiplayer online video chat with Xbox Live. You can play Kinect and general games online with friends from all over the world.
