Microsoft Mascots:
Microsoft is a well known name in the PC realm and after infecting reality in pretty every computer related corner, they set their eyes on injecting their brand into the gaming community. Reception upon their first annoncment was luke warm at best, with a few people who were paid off by Microsoft to claim the girls as the Console Gal killers each time. While they struggle in Japan (Japanese seems to not like foreigners), they have recieved a good hold in the American market. Europeans plus the Australian's reception is better than that of the Asian market.


Xbox Amazon
When she was found in the amazon headquarters of Microsoft it was big news to the world. Now Microsoft wanted a set loose their creation to the world. Learning mostly from working with Sega on the Dreamcast Kunoichi's training core program, Microsoft figured that everyone would just ditch the remaining players PS2 Lady and Gamecube Girl in favor for their more powerful machine. While Xbox Amazon did adequately in North America, she was pretty much not looked at everywhere else in the world. Striving to stay alive she sometimes requests Master Chief for support. Xbox Amazon's personality has a tough outer shell and may seem aggressive at times, but those who love to hunt aliens have proclaimed her to be one of the best to have on the team.

Xbox 360 Barbarian
Learning from their first gal, Microsoft went back to the drawing board to revamp and release the next "most powerful" Gal on the Console Gal business. They pretty much upgraded everything Xbox Amazon had, decided to slim her down, change their color, release 4 different variations of her, and decided to release her a couple of months prior to the arrival of Wii Girl and PS3 Lady. Microsoft emphasize a lot on her online abilities and wireless features, but as consumers found out she carried two touches to her: A green ring of life and the dreaded red ring of death.
