- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) appears to have abandoned sales of the original Xbox One according to The Verge.
- Refurbished models still appear in the company’s official online stores, but only the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X, which started preorders last week, show up as new models.
- Microsoft discontinued manufacturing on the Xbox 360 last year around the time the Xbox One S was due to launch.
- Yesterday, GameStop blamed some of its Q2 mixed results on “lagging Xbox One sales.”
- ”In both new and preowned, we’re seeing underperformance in Xbox One versus PS4, which we believe is due to the coming Xbox One X launch,” said CFO Robert Lloyd during the earnings call.
- Microsoft said today that the Xbox One X is its “fastest selling preorder ever” but didn’t provide any numbers.
