"When you see the new Xbox, you're going to think it's -- well, let me say it politely -- unbelievable. Just unbelievable. The graphics, what it can do, the way things look, huge innovation. Rumors are that we'll see that product sometime soon. I couldn't comment, of course, on those rumors. But it's an amazing, amazing innovation."

"I think we're going to blow by Sony with our next box. I absolutely think we're going to kick their backsides, so to speak. I think Xbox 1 has been a fantastic product. We're not market leaders yet. There's Sony, there's us, there's Nintendo. When we get Xbox 2 in the market, there's going to be Xbox and the other guys."

"Why do people buy one game console over another? As we say around here, 'Duh, it's the games.' Partly they're great games because they have great graphics, they have great processing, they have great this, they've got great that, but it's about getting great games. So, there's two parts to that: Number one, we have to make sure we have a great environment, software environment for people to write games, games that connect to one another, games that are social, games that are hard-core. We've got to make sure we let people write great games. But then, number two, we, Microsoft, have to write a number of really great games to show it off. What is 'Halo 2?' It's the greatest video game ever written. It shows off Xbox 1, and we've got some more games coming that will be the greatest video games ever written, and they'll show off Xbox 2."
