With the arrival of the next generation consoles on the market, a situation repeated throughout the history of the industry takes place once again. So much Sony like Microsoft they have the internal debate about whether to keep the regular production of the old models or to end their production.
This second position is the one that Microsoft has taken, as The Verge has been able to confirm. “To focus on Xbox Series X / S production, we stopped production of all Xbox One consoles by the end of 2020, “says 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 improve the production and sale of Xbox Series X / S, the two new generation console models. Already in mid-2020 Microsoft opted not to manufacture more Xbox One X, 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 opted for not disclose more data on Xbox One sales, since 2015. “The demand has never been higher,” revealed Phil Spencer about the situation of Xbox Series X / S, although it continues to be really difficult to get hold of a unit.
