Microsoft confirms that it stopped production of the Xbox One at the end of 2020

While Microsoft had already discontinued the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S digital edition before the arrival of the new Xbox Series S/X, the company still continued to manufacture the standard edition of the latter console for a few more months. However, the definitive end of the Xbox One family finally came, as Microsoft announced that it also stopped manufacturing the Xbox One S, dedicating itself 100% to the new generation of consoles.

Speaking to The Verge, Cindy Walker, Xbox Family Marketing Director, said:

To focus on production of the Xbox Series S / X, we have stopped production of all Xbox One consoles at the end of 2020.

In this way, Microsoft took the opposite direction than Sony, which did the opposite, increasing the production of the Playstation 4 as they ensure that it will better satisfy the demand for consoles, something that is clearly not the case because the demand is for consoles. new generation and not for the PS4.

Although Microsoft has not yet managed to significantly improve the stock of the Xbox Series X, these measures are being noticed with the Xbox Series S, which in recent months has always been in stock and at a good price. This console is a great option since it offers very good performance at a low price, and with Xbox Game Pass we can access a large catalog of games at a very low cost, so it is very attractive for gamers and it is good that Microsoft focus on her instead of the Xbox One.

It will be interesting to see if the stock of the Xbox Series X improves now that the company is 100% focused on this new generation, since this model did have a lot of shortages and those looking to play in 4K are waiting for this option. Unfortunately, due to the current situation of scarcity, we see it as complicated, although we must always maintain hope.

What do you think about this Microsoft measure? Is it right for you to completely stop production of the Xbox One family to focus on the Xbox Series S/X?
