The birth of the machine as seen through the eyes of the Xbox 360 engineers who designed it. . . Blow-by-blow coverage of the heated internal debates as senior Microsoft executives battle to define the future of the Xbox brand. . . The strategic chess moves as Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and company take risk after risk, trying to outmaneuver their archrivals for the brass ring: dominance of the incredibly lucrative video game market. . .

Review: An amazing "behind the scenes" look at the making of Microsoft's XBox 360 - I love Dean Takahashi's writing style. The guy obviously has a passion for the video game industry. The corporate intrigue surrounding the development of the XBox 360 is recounted here in great detail. Takahashi's ability to weave a compelling narrative thread out of what could otherwise be a dry synopsis of an industrial design cycle is what makes this book such a great read. If you are interested in the video game industry this book is a must buy. I highly recommend it. Review: For Gamers - This is a great book for gamers and readers interested in business. It was really interesting to see the internal conflict / decisions made behind closed doors. I love gaming and I'm a business owner so this book hit a chord in both respects. Good read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #289,380 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #211 in Video Games & Strategy Guides #1,330 in Crafts & Hobbies (Books) #2,138 in Handicrafts, Decorative Arts & Crafts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 19 Reviews | ## Images ![The Xbox 360 Uncloaked: The Real Story Behind Microsoft's Next-Generation Video Game Console - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cKQ-peL2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing "behind the scenes" look at the making of Microsoft's XBox 360 *by T***D on 3 November 2009* I love Dean Takahashi's writing style. The guy obviously has a passion for the video game industry. The corporate intrigue surrounding the development of the XBox 360 is recounted here in great detail. Takahashi's ability to weave a compelling narrative thread out of what could otherwise be a dry synopsis of an industrial design cycle is what makes this book such a great read. If you are interested in the video game industry this book is a must buy. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Gamers *by J***. on 19 May 2012* This is a great book for gamers and readers interested in business. It was really interesting to see the internal conflict / decisions made behind closed doors. I love gaming and I'm a business owner so this book hit a chord in both respects. Good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great insight into the making of X360 *by I***. on 30 August 2010* Great book for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the Xbox 360. Author provides great coverage from the industry insiders as well as the people who made the product itself. Considering this was highly "top secret" within Microsoft/IBM/ATI, the author still manged to show the thought process behind making "Xenon" (code name for Xbox 360 project, later the name of the X360's CPU). The book is well organized into many small chapters which makes it an easy read. The most interesting thing you'll learn from this book is the amount of dedication from the whole team, Microsoft's plunge into the unknown territory and all the compromises, tough business and design decisions. An excellent read for anyone interested in "behind the scenes" of video game industry.
