With the arrival of new generation consoles on the market, a situation repeated throughout the history of the industry takes place once again. Both Sony and Microsoft have the internal debate about whether to keep the regular production of the old models or end their production.
This second position is the one that Microsoft has taken, as confirmed by The Verge . “In order to focus on Xbox Series X/S production, we stopped production of all Xbox One consoles at the end of 2020,” said Cindy Walker, Senior Director of Marketing at Xbox.
The decision is due to the fact that the company has decided to put all its efforts into improving the production and sale of Xbox Series X/S , the two models of new generation consoles. Already in mid-2020, Microsoft opted not to manufacture Xbox One X anymore, just like the Xbox One S in digital format.
Now, this measure affects any type of Xbox One that has been released in all these years. The truth is that Microsoft has already chosen not to reveal more data on Xbox One sales , since 2015. “Demand has never been higher,” revealed Phil Spencer about the Xbox Series X/S situation , although it remains really Hard to get hold of a unit.
