Todd Howard: "If we go back to the year 2000, Microsoft is thinking about creating the Xbox and technically it was great for us, it's a very PC-styled console, it has a hard drive, so many things that we would be looking for in a console, and the big question was, how do we translate the controls and all of those things? Fortunately, we are all here today because this game was a huge success, I was stunned, obviously, it did well on the PC but on Xbox at the time it became the second best-selling game behind Halo."
