The change of console generation will always lead to the “death” of the previous generation console, which sometimes takes a different time. Sony, for example, with several crossover games still being prepared, decided to continue the Playstation 4 production process in 2022. This will produce millions of units to fulfill a market dream that may still be difficult to find Playstation 5. So, what about Microsoft itself? No need to wait too long, Microsoft made sure that their previous generation console – the Xbox One was officially “dead”.
That’s right, speaking with The Verge, Xbox Senior Product Marketing – Cindy Walker confirmed that Microsoft has stopped all production processes for the Xbox One since the end of 2020. All resources are now focused on bringing more Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S to market. Microsoft’s rapid shift in this generation is believed to have occurred because of the existence of the Xbox Series S – a new generation console that is at an affordable price point, so it is no longer rational for gamers to glance at Xbox One if they want a new console.
Not only that, Xbox boss – Phil Spencer also briefly revealed that for die space At the same time, Microsoft can build more Series S chips than Series X. This is what makes the Xbox Series S stock consistently available on the market, in the midst of other new gen consoles that continue to run out.
