And another all digital edition bites the dust. Will the discless PS5 survive a whole generation?

So next gen will start with XBox One S, Series S and Series X. (Or Series S comes later)

That’s easy, each one will make way for Lockhart. Lockhart is overall superior to Xbox X and also digital like the Series S Digital. Both consoles are obsolete soon and might as well clear them out before launch. 

It's unprecedented to discontinue current gen consoles before the next gen starts. But I guess the X sales were so low, might as well stop production now and sell what's left. It was a well made machine, but if Lockhart is truly full BC and runs all XBox One games better or equal than they did on the X for equal or better price, then it makes sense. Perhaps the XBox One X is still pretty expensive to make, it never came down in price here. Heck already removed from best buy, only available from online marketplace for CAD 590. CAD 650 on Amazon, 4 left!
