Yes I'm dead serious. Xbox One has been sold out out every time I've checked US online retailers since about mid June, and it's also sold out at my local Walmart, Target, and Gamestop retail stores. Meanwhile, look at the Xbox One NPD numbers from earlier this year:
XB1 was up YoY for 3 months straight, selling extremely well due to the corona lockdown boost. Then it sold out in mid June, causing it to be down YoY for June. It never got a proper restock in July, and it still hasn't gotten a proper restock in August. So, the question is, why would MS suddenly drastically slow production on Xbox One around about late May? Well, according to a leak in mid May, Xbox Series production began in May. It makes logical sense that the reason why MS isn't producing many Xbox One units anymore, even though it was up YoY in March-May, is because they have converted most of the Xbox One S production lines over to making Series S units. Meanwhile, Xbox One X has officially been discontinued now, so it's safe to say that the Xbox One X production lines have been converted over to making Series X units. |
Could also mean that nobody saw this pandemic coming or the effect it would have with some sufering and some surprisingly benefiting from it like gaming did.
As far as we know ms never made any adjustments to supply in a while and the higher demand burned the reserved stock but retailers dint order more because they dint know when this boom was gona end. Considering the one s is not gona be discontinued, this is likely as it always has been the one sold most as nobody will buy a one x when it will be obsolete in a few months.
Either way it in no way indicates any level of enthusiam for another product, wich may not be sufering from this pandemic by then.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
