Microsoft’s game exec Phil Harrison explains how Xbox One will catch the PlayStation 4 (interview)

Sony has grabbed an early lead in the gaming console war, selling 6 million PlayStation 4 consoles since November. Microsoft has sold perhaps 4 million Xbox Ones, and has clearly fallen into the No. 2 position in next-generation consoles after leading with the Xbox 360.

Marc Whitten, chief product officer of the Xbox One, dropped a bomb this week as he announced he was leaving to take an executive post at wireless audio equipment manufacturer Sonos. That’s a little scary for game developers who are thinking about throwing their support behind Microsoft’s state-of-the-art game console.
