The American giant is astonishing again. The official store of the company includes posters celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Xbox brand and the premiere of the documentary series, including a proposal referring to the Red Ring of Death. The producer does not forget about a problematic event in the history of the Xbox.

Yesterday Microsoft has published a six-episode document summarizing the history of the Xbox, in which we can not only look at the most important moments since the creation of the first American console, check many interesting facts from work on the equipment, but also learn a bit more details about more difficult events.
Red Ring of Death can be undoubtedly considered one of the worst moments in the history of the entire brand. Although the Xbox 360 turned out to be a great success, the critical failure disrupted the positive image of the corporation and caused enormous losses.
Peter Moore, former head of Xbox, confirmed that the problem cost Microsoft over $ 1 billion:
“When we looked at the repair costs and loss of sales that we included, we found we had a problem worth $ 1.15 billion.”
After more than 15 years, Microsoft does not hide its head in the sand and does not try to get around the matter with a wide berth. In the cited production, we can get to know the backstage of the event that is analyzed by the company’s employees. Americans are also selling posters from the Red Ring of Death.
The offer includes seven graphics, each is priced at $ 24.99, however, we can assume that the Red Ring of Death theme will be the most popular.
