Power On, a new documentary series detailing the storied history of the Xbox, is now out on YouTube to stream for free.
Of particular interest is the appearance of Don Mattrick, the infamous leader of Xbox during the launch of the Xbox One, in the final episode. Mattrick left Microsoft in July 2013, months before the Xbox One launched, signalling a big change in the focus for Xbox in the years to come. This is Mattrick’s first interview since, providing new angles on the entire saga.
“We got pushback from consumers, from some journalists, questioning if we had made the right choice as a company,” explained Mattrick. “It was a valid criticism, but it was a very binary choice. And we chose to bet on online.”
