The Xbox One X and Xbox One S all Digital Editions have been discontinued. That leaves only the Xbox One S model that can play physical media.

It makes sense that Microsoft starts to wind down the generation as the Xbox Series X is on the horizon but I honestly didn't expect them to discontinue Xbox One models until after Christmas for one last holiday push, but I guess they really want to focus almost completely on Xbox Series X.

What are your thoughts on this? If you haven't picked up on Xbox One this generation, do you see yourself buying one before it's discontinued completely or would you rather wait for Xbox Series X to see if that potentially interests you?

This is interesting news. I've toyed with the idea of potentially going after an Xbox One X at some point, so it's a little bit of a bummer that there will be a discontinuation. I currently don't play to go after a Series X for a long time, if at all. At the same time, I suppose it's money saved since I already own an original model. It should be interesting to see how this will affect initial Series X sales when the day arrives.

I skipped the Xbox One completely in favor of the PS4 for this gen, I have no plans to buy an Xbox One last minute. I'm still unsure how I'll move forward with the available next gen consoles, but based purely on console design, I find the slender look of the PS5 more appealing.

This is funny to me because MS have said there'll be no exclusoves on the Series X for two years after launch, but then at the same time they discontinue the current consoles that can play the new games.

Kind of a bit backhanded, really.
