While the Xbox series has been around since November 2020, the question of Xbox One continuity arose. In fact, Phil Spencer and the Xbox teams have announced that they will be supported for at least two years in terms of games. Recently, Xbox Ones also had access to cloud gaming, allowing their owners to play next-gen titles through this method.
End of production in December 2020
However, Microsoft teams decided to quickly focus on selling machines of the new generation, the Xbox series. Especially since the Series S is priced at the old Xbox One, making it an ideal entry point into the Xbox ecosystem. In a statement collected by The Verge, Xbox Senior Director Cindy Walker said:
In order to focus on Xbox Series X|S production, we ended all Xbox One console production at the end of 2020.
While the Xbox One X and Xbox One S all-digital construction lines were halted prior to the launch of the new-gen consoles, the One S will not resume production until less than two months after the Xbox series launch. A strategy that seems to be working well with a Series S available on the market while Xbox Series X stocks are under constant pressure. Although this does not prevent Phil Spencer that this new generation with an estimated 10 to 12 million units sold is better than the old one.
The Xbox Series surpasses previous Xbox generations
This will no doubt be made possible by an Xbox Series S that’s easier to produce at a time of component shortages, when Nintendo and Sony are struggling to get consoles onto shelves and are even having to resume production of the Playstation 4 to meet demand to satisfy players. The decision to develop a variant of its flagship seems to be paying off for Microsoft and Xbox.
