XBox Now Accepts Bitcoin

“If you are a person who uses Bitcoin you know it’s not always easy to find places where you can use the digital currency,” begins a new announcement on the Microsoft website. The options just became a fraction more varied as Microsoft announced it now accepts Bitcoin as payment for some of its products. This includes Windows Phone, Windows Store, and all things XBox — Xbox Games, XBox Music and XBox Video. Since Bitcoin’s introduction, the virtual currency has fluctuated between worthless and obscenely valuable, depending on the wind. This may be why a lot of merchants have been reluctant to accept it. But Eric Lockard, corporate vice president of Universal Store at Microsoft, explains their decision this way: “For us, this is about giving people options and helping them do more on their devices and in the cloud … The use of digital currencies such as Bitcoin, while not yet mainstream, is growing beyond the early enthusiasts.

The last few years have been rough for Microsoft, especially in the game console department. It took them a while to figure this out, but your core audience responds better when they aren’t completely ignored in favor of soccer moms and octogenarians. It might not have been the best strategy to throw that loyal audience under the bus for a new breed of consumer who will purchase one game for themselves and then leave. It might have been erroneous to announce plans to tether every purchase to one machine, even for discs, and then have to frantically reverse direction after the response was so incendiary.
