Timeless principle

Launch the product by expressing the worldview behind it.

The idea

Launch Xbox with a newborn flying rapidly through an entire life and landing in the grave.

Why it works

The shocking compression makes ‘Life is short. Play more.’ feel like a conclusion, not a slogan. Xbox barely needs to appear because the film argues for play at the scale of mortality. The launch announces an attitude as much as a console.
