Xbox One's line-up of exclusive games, brand new features and upcoming deals will help make "the Xbox One the most attractive console to buy" this Christmas, according to UK marketing boss Harvey Eagle, who says that Microsoft is "very confident" in the console's sales potential over "the next few weeks".

Speaking in the latest issue of MCV, Eagle explained that now "is really the time when the market starts to grow. It's a highly seasonal business, it always has been - and a lot of the sales happen in this period.

"We've been very focused on building the right plan to get us through this period. With the new features, the great new games that have just come out, some of the amazing games that are about to come out, plus some of the deals that we and our retail partners will have, we're making the Xbox One the most attractive console to buy out there."

"It makes us very confident in how the next few weeks are going to go."
