About 20 years had passed since Microsoft launched Xbox, as of 2022.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Judge as of 24 May 2022 against Xbox's launch date, taking the first Xbox console's retail release as the reference point. True: the launch was about 20 years earlier, roughly 19 to 21 years before May 2022. Mostly true: the gap was 18 to 22 years, a slip in a rough figure. Mixed is not used, because this is a single figure. Mostly false: the gap was 16–17 or 23–24 years. False: the gap was more than 4 years away from 20.

Evidence

1. Celebrating 20 Years of Xbox Xbox Wire (news.xbox.com) · 13 May 2021 Own record

   “The original Xbox console was released in North America on November 15, 2001, followed by many more launches all around the world including Japan, Australia, Europe, Latin America, China, and more!”

2. Xbox - Wikipedia Wikipedia

   “The brand was first introduced in the United States in November 2001, with the launch of the original Xbox console.”

Reasoning

Wikipedia (E2), an independent source, says the original Xbox console launched in the United States in November 2001. Xbox Wire (E1) gives the North American release date as November 15, 2001. That puts the launch about 20.5 years before 24 May 2022, which falls inside the 19–21 year range the criteria set for "true".
