Will Xbox Series S replace the Xbox One X and Xbox One S that are no longer sold?

While all eyes are on the launch of the Xbox Series X , many retailers are no longer offering the Xbox One X or Xbox One S all Digital models for sale. And for good reason: Microsoft is stopping production of these last two models.

Xbox One S will remain on sale

The Xbox One X was released in 2017, so it will only have had a three-year lifespan. Microsoft has indeed confirmed to The Verge that the machine will no longer be produced, just like the 100% digital version of the Xbox One S.

As we look to the future with the Xbox Series X, we are making the natural decision to stop production of the Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. The Xbox One S will continue to be manufactured and sold around the world.

This Xbox Series S, if it exists, should be a little less powerful than the Xbox Series X, but more powerful than the Xbox One X. It would therefore be difficult to maintain two fairly competing models face to face. As for shutting down production of the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, either the console was not as successful as it was hoped for, or the Xbox Series S could also replace it as a console without a disc drive in the future. close. So these are new elements that are completely in line with the upcoming arrival of the Xbox Series S.

I find this logic quite consistent, especially with their desire to continue offering games on both genes for as long as possible.

Also no, they would have ended up with potentially 5 models available at the same time against 3 at Sony ...

Here it will be clear:

First-price console: Xbox One S Next-gen digital console at a good price for the Gamepass: Xbox Series S Premium console for gamers without compromise: Xbox Series X
