“We’re on track for launch in November. We’ll announce a launch date shortly,” Mehdi told attendees of the Citi Global Technology Conference. “We recently just went into full production, so we’re now producing en masse Xbox One consoles. We’ve had real good progress on the system. In fact, we just updated the CPU performance to 1.75 GHz on top of the graphics performance improvement, so the system is really going to shine; the games look pretty incredible.”
