Xbox Live won't crash again this Christmas as it did last year, Xbox group product manager Aaron Greenberg has promised.

Speaking to Kotaku, the Xbox man said that even with all of the new, cheaper consoles downloading the New Xbox Experience on Christmas day, Microsoft will be prepared.

"We've built a lot of infrastructure, a lot of behind the curtain no one sees," he said. "This is something that Microsoft is good at. We are well prepared for the type of growth we expect this holiday.

"We will have people standing by, more people on hand than we've ever had before," he said. "Knock on wood we will hopefully not have any issues."
