The Xbox One Is Now an Ex-Box (kotaku.co.uk)

Posted by msmash on Friday August 25, 2017 @11:20AM from the Xbox-Gone dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: As of today you cannot buy a new Xbox One from Microsoft. Manufacturing of the original version of the console ceased a few months back, but today marks the day it became officially unavailable. Until today you could order an original Xbox One from Microsoft's online store but, now, you'll be met with an out of stock notice. That's in the UK store -- go to the US store and you'll find they've just removed the Xbox One page entirely, like it never happened. Obviously you'll still find the odd survivor in stores but, essentially, that's it for the original Xbox One.

Sure, the Original Xbox One isn't available.
But the Xbox One S is.
Nothing lost (except for Kinect) but a LOT gained.
The article makes it seem like Xbox One is not a going concern. No...they just replaced the bigger/bulkier model with something better.
