Descrição:

"Microsoft to close Xbox Entertainment Studios, ending original programming plans"

"The content produced by Xbox Entertainment Studios, which would be released exclusively on Xbox Live, was meant to solidify Microsoft's pitch for the Xbox One as the "the all-in-one games and entertainment system" at the center of the living room."

"Xbox Entertainment Studios had announced a wide variety of television projects, known as Xbox Originals, in various stages of completion. There was Halo: The Television Series, with Steven Spielberg as an executive producer; a six-part documentary series called Signal to Noise; Humans, based on the Swedish sci-fi series Real Humans; and more. Programming from Xbox Entertainment Studios debuted earlier this year, including the reality TV series Every Street United, which launched in June at the start of the World Cup."

"Earlier this year, Tellem and Josh Levin, executive vice president of Xbox Entertainment Studios, said in a meeting with press that the organization's plans wouldn't take anything away from the "gaming-first" philosophy of Xbox. Microsoft spent its entire 90-minute press briefing at E3 2014 discussing games, and did not mention Xbox Entertainment Studios at all."
