Microsoft confirms it has stopped making all Xbox One consoles

Microsoft has confirmed it is discontinuing the production of all Xbox One consoles. The software giant initially discontinued the Xbox One X and digital Xbox One S ahead of the launch of the Xbox Series X, then quietly halted production of the Xbox One S at the end of 2020 and notified retailers to sell out any remaining stock.

In order to focus on Xbox Series X/S production, we have ceased production of all Xbox One consoles through the end of 2020,” Cindy Walker, senior director of product marketing for Xbox consoles, said in a statement. Just before that, a Bloomberg report suggested that Sony had planned to end PS4 production by the end of 2021, but the company will now produce about 1 million PS4 consoles in 2022.

At Microsoft and Sony struggle to meet the demand for their latest Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles, Sony has confirmed that PS4 production is still in progress. Microsoft seems to be able to satisfy the demand for the $299 Xbox Series S, though.

At press time, the Xbox Series S is in stock on Amazon in the UK and Best Buy in the US. That’s a key reason why we’re seeing a steady supply of the Xbox Series S, and a big reason why Microsoft decided to quietly discontinue the Xbox One S in favor of its next-gen consoles.
